    MUFG is already known as Japan’s largest bank. In South-east Asia, it now wants to be more than just that.

    Richard Yorke, head of global corporate and investment banking for Asia-Pacific at MUFG, noted that it is also a significant shareholder of several regional banks.

    The Japanese banking group operates in 18 markets in the Asia-Pacific region under the MUFG brand.
