CIMB Bank Bhd is hosting its first CIMB Asean SME Forum here on Sept 24,
where guest speakers will share their perspectives on doing business in Asean.
Themed "Asean for
SMEs", the event is expected to attract more than 300 business owners and
will focus on Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia, with special sessions on
increasing liberalisation in Myanmar and trade opportunities in China.
"This forum is a clear
example of how we can leverage our regional network to offer our business
customers practical advice on expanding in Asean. The topics covered have been
carefully selected to cover the fundamentals of investing in, and trading with
Asean markets," CIMB Bank group deputy CEO and head of consumer banking,
Renzo Viegas, said in a statement today.
"According to Asean
Secretariat statistics, intra-Asean trade exceeded RM1.53 trillion last year
and it was anticipated that the Asean Economic Community (AEC) will be a key
driver for further intra-regional trade growth," he added.
The forum will be officiated by
CIMB Group CEO Datuk Seri Nazir Razak and will feature speakers who are
regulatory, legal, tax and property experts from across the region.
International Trade and Industry Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Rebecca
Sta Maria will deliver the keynote address.
She will touch on recent
developments in the AEC, and opportunities as well as challenges for Malaysian
businesses as they seek regional opportunities.
The CIMB Asean SME Forum is a
regional roadshow with Kuala Lumpur as the first leg, followed by Bangkok on
Oct 9 which will be hosted by CIMB Thai Bank PCL, and Jakarta on Oct 18, to be
hosted by PT Bank CIMB Niaga TBK.
