CIMB Group Holdings Bhd turned in its second-best quarter in four years, blowing past a consensus estimate, and said it was confident of reaching an annual loan growth target given strength across its banking segments and a firm economy.
The economy of the world's No 2 palm producer is picking up, after a period of tepid growth caused by a downturn in commodity prices and a corruption scandal involving state-owned fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
