Malaysia’s CIMB Q1 net profit up 10%

CIMB announced a 10.3 percent increase in first-quarter net profit mainly due to stronger regional corporate banking and treasury markets businesses.

The bank posted a net profit of 1.01 billion ringgit or US$321.14 million in the quarter, compared with 916.54 million ringgit in the same quarter a year ago.

“The year has started well for us, driven by outperformance at the regional corporate banking and treasury markets divisions and sustained high growth momentum at CIMB Niaga [in Indonesia],” CIMB’s chief Nazir Razak said in a statement.

The bank has seen its regional units bearing fruit over the years and recently expanded its Asia presence further by acquiring some Asian operations of Royal Bank of Scotland and the unlisted banking arm of the Philippines’ San Miguel Corp.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
