CIMB shuts down subsidiary in Middle East

It is consolidating its businesses.

CIMB Group Holdings received the approval for the closure of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary CME.

According to a press release, CME would cease to be a subsidiary of the CIMB.

CIMB group chief executive Tengku Dato' Sri Zafrul Aziz said the closure is in line with its T18 initiative aimed at business consolidation and resource optimisation.

"CIMB remains committed to the Middle East through our partnership with Fajr Capital, which has a strong network in the Middle East. The partnership with Fajr Capital will also leverage on CIMB's strong ASEAN network, to facilitate deals between the two economic regions with an expanding middle-class population, a high percentage of young people and strong growth prospects, moving forward," he added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
