As part of its stakeholder relationship exercise to encourage cross-border
trade and investments by our local businesses, EXIM Bank introduced
business networking sessions at its headquarters for its customers, other
local companies, government agencies and other related stakeholders, to
meet with foreign government representatives that would present business
opportunities available in their countries. Linking local businesses with
foreign establishments across the globe is another EXIM Bank’s corporate
responsibility in opening up opportunities for them to pursue. The initiatives
are also in line with the Malaysian Government aspiration to see more local
companies doing business abroad.
EXIM Bank organised the visit by HE Governor Mujiv Hataman of the
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao to brief EXIM Bank and local
businessmen on the business opportunities available in the region during
the Governor’s and his entourage private visit to Malaysia in July 2013, after
the signing of the peace treaty in Manila. In November 2013, EXIM Bank
had also linked about 30 local businessmen with delegation members of
Ogun State of Nigeria led by HE The Governor of Ogun State. The Governor,
Hon. Senator Ibikunle Amosun personally briefed the businessmen on the
opportunities available in his home state.
Being a responsible Bank mandated by the Government, EXIM Bank in 2013
has expanded its coverage to East Malaysia with Kuching as its first
representative office in that region. It was officially opened by Y.B. Dato’ Sri
Wong Soon Koh, Sarawak’s Finance Minister II on 6th November 2013. Its role
is similar to other representative offices in Johor Bahru and Penang and
currently it is staffed by four employees.
