Maybank says on lookout for opportunities to be regional financial services leader

MALAYAN BANKING BHD said it was continuously seeking and assessing various propositions and opportunities that would help achieve its vision to be a regional financial services leader.

It said on Wednesday, Nov 10 that the objective of such opportunities was to help create shareholder value. “If and when a suitable and definite opportunity materialises, the Maybank group shall make the relevant announcements of any material information at the appropriate time,” it said.

Maybank was commenting on a report in The Edge FinancialDaily that the banking group was interested to acquire OSK HOLDINGS BHD in a move to beef up the former's investment banking arm.
