CIMB targets niche approach across Asean markets
Novan says CIMB is taking a disciplined, market-by-market approach by aiming to be a strong niche player instead of pursuing a 'universal player'. KUALA LUMPUR (July 23): CIMB Group Holdings Bhd (CIMB), which operates across ten markets in Asean, is sharpening its regional strategy by strengthening client support, expanding cross-border banking services and accelerating digital transformation to help businesses manage geopolitical risks and global supply chain shifts. To drive this effort, its group CEO Novan Amirudin said the bank is committed to building scale in high-growth markets such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand by tailoring strategies that meet local needs and opportunities. He said CIMB is taking a disciplined, market-by-market approach by aiming to be a strong niche player instead of pursuing a 'universal player'. 'We are driven by our core purpose and value, and our core purpose is all about advancing customers and society. 'We will operate in all these different jurisdictions based on how we can contribute to customers and societies in that particular market. 'If we cannot play a meaningful role, then we need to find a different angle for us to play a meaningful role. 'We are always meticulously understanding where we can play our role and be dynamic,' he said during the bank's Asean Media Day earlier this week at its headquarters. He cited Malaysia as an example of a market where CIMB serves all customer segments including unbanked communities through its Touch 'n Go platform. In contrast, he said Thailand presents a different dynamic. Although GDP growth has been slower in that region, CIMB Thai continues to support Thai corporates expanding into other Asean markets like Malaysia and Singapore. For CIMB Thai, he said the bank's focus is on enabling outbound investment and facilitating cross-border capital flows. The goal, he said, is to improve returns by remaining a niche player rather than competing with larger banks. Meanwhile, for Philippines, CIMB grew its customer base to eight million, with six million of them acquired through strategic partnerships with e-commerce platforms. He said these partnerships helped the bank reach underserved segments faster than traditional methods would allow and the group is now adopting the same model in Malaysia and Indonesia to grow its reach. Novan added that the bank had started its digital journey in Vietnam and the Philippines about six years ago with one to two per cent of capital allocated to develop digital banks in those markets. 'In Vietnam and Philippines, we learn exactly how to operate and to expand digitally, whether is it digital internal processes, digital ways of reaching out to customers. And we are then implementing it as we digitise the entire CIMB group,' he said. Novan stressed that CIMB is not afraid to pivot its strategy when the market or competition shifts, and is always on the lookout for where it can add value by tailoring strategies for each market rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This focus on returns is part of the group's Forward30 strategy where capital is reallocated to areas with stronger growth potential. For example, Novan pointed to Islamic banking in Indonesia and digital opportunities in Malaysia. He said the combination of CIMB's eight million digital users through its CIMB Octo app and 30 million Touch 'n Go users in Malaysia presents untapped potential. 'That is one area that we can look to harness between the bank and the wallet, for example, that we haven't even started. There's a lot more upside in various pockets but we have to focus on the areas where we can win, where we can serve our customers and society better – that is what we are doing,' he said. asean CIMB Financing niche

New Proton X50 attracts 5,000 bookings in just 10 days
The All-New Proton X50 has captured the attention of Malaysians nationwide, with 5,000 bookings recorded within just 10 days of opening its order books on 5 July. The overwhelming response follows a highly successful nationwide prelaunch tour that brought the new SUV to major city attractions, where eager onlookers turned up in droves for a glimpse of Proton's latest B-segment contender. According to Proton, one booking for the All-New X50 is received every three minutes. This impressive rate reflects a 50 per cent take-up of the early bird promotion, which offers a RM1,000 cash rebate, a special edition Touch 'n Go card, and an exclusive GEMPAK! Deal. These incentives are reserved for the first 10,000 customers, with only half of that number still available. The full pricing structure of the All-New X50 will be disclosed during its official launch event, scheduled for the evening of 24 July. Ahead of that, Proton has announced that public test drives will commence at showrooms nationwide from 19 July, giving potential buyers the opportunity to experience the vehicle's performance and features first-hand. Zhang Qiang, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Proton Edar, noted that the company is humbled by the extraordinary interest shown in the new model. He confirmed that production at the Tanjong Malim plant has been accelerated to meet the strong demand, with a target of delivering at least 5,000 units by the end of August. This strategic move is aimed at minimising the waiting period for customers post-launch. The All-New Proton X50 arrives with a raft of upgrades designed to appeal to drivers with active, modern lifestyles. The model features new exterior and interior styling, an enhanced Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), and a newly developed 1.5-litre turbocharged i-GT engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This combination delivers 181PS and 290Nm of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 7.6 seconds — an improvement of 0.3 seconds over its predecessor — while also achieving a 4.7 per cent boost in fuel efficiency. With the initial 5,000 bookings already snapped up and only 5,000 units remaining under the early bird campaign, prospective buyers are being urged to act quickly to take advantage of the READY TO ROAR package. The package includes the RM1,000 cash rebate, a limited edition Touch 'n Go card, and the yet-to-be-revealed GEMPAK! Deal, which is set to be announced during the official launch. The All-New Proton X50 represents a significant step forward for the national carmaker as it continues to elevate its product offerings in both performance and design. With demand surging and vehicles prepared for immediate delivery post-launch, the SUV is poised to reaffirm Proton's dominance in Malaysia's competitive B-segment SUV market.
