Total deposits and current account savings account (CASA) balances grew by 5.4 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM524.4 billion and 1.6 per cent y-o-y to RM224.1 billion, respectively, on a constant currency basis, bringing the CASA ratio to 42.7 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2026, CIMB launched its Private Wealth in Indonesia, followed by Malaysia in mid-2026 and other markets during the year, to further strengthen its regional wealth management ambition.<\/p>\n<p>Islamic wealth markets like Indonesia and Malaysia continue to outpace the conventional segment. Indonesia remains one of ASEAN\u2019s most attractive long-term wealth markets, supported by strong economic fundamentals, a rapidly expanding middle- and upper-income segment, and rising demand for professional wealth advisory, the bank said.<\/p>\n<p>CIMB believes ASEAN\u2019s wealth landscape remains structurally underpenetrated, creating a significant opportunity for regional banks with strong local networks and advisory capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With its presence across key ASEAN markets, CIMB is well-positioned to capture this growth while strengthening its customer franchise and delivering sustainable long-term value,\u201d it added. &#8211; Bernama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Group Holdings Bhd is expanding its presence in ASEAN\u2019s fast-growing affluent and wealth segment as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[60609,1340,84,168522,4176,180426,4174,4175,56,54,55,5351],"class_list":{"0":"post-517470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-personal-finance","8":"tag-asset","9":"tag-banking","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-cimb","12":"tag-finance","13":"tag-forward30","14":"tag-personal-finance","15":"tag-personalfinance","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom","19":"tag-wealth"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
