CIMB & China CITIC Bank Boost China-ASEAN Linkages

The collaboration will facilitate international banking, commerce, and financial services along the route.

CIMB Bank has entered into an agreement with China CITIC Bank aimed at enhancing financial links between China and ASEAN .

The collaboration will primarily concentrate on Malaysia and Indonesia, while also promoting wider commercial, financial, and investment activities throughout the China-ASEAN region.

The partnership will integrate China CITIC Bank's domestic network within China with CIMB's presence across Southeast Asia.

Both bank clients are anticipated to receive access to financial services encompassing trade activities, payment processes, and international funding options.

The collaboration will further enhance the ability to process payments and clear transactions involving both the Chinese yuan and foreign currencies.

This could involve possible access to China's Cross-Border Interbank Payment System, internal RMB banking fund mechanisms, and offshore loans directed towards ASEAN economies.

Both financial institutions will examine collaboration regarding international treasury and liquidity management, covering services such as account setup, upkeep, and administration for businesses operating locally.

CIMB and China CITIC Bank will further assist clients' growth via reciprocal recommendations and consulting services.

Advisory assistance will include guidance on entering new markets, meeting legal standards, handling international deals, and exploring possibilities for business combinations.

Banks will further investigate collaborative efforts in syndicated loans within both global primary and secondary markets to enhance clients' availability of local and overseas funding.
