According to a press release, under the 2017 Asia Risk Magazine Awards’ “Country House of the Year” category, CIMB clinched an award for Malaysia (for the twelfth consecutive year), and Indonesia (for the sixth consecutive year) for its commitment towards improving risk management beyond the minimum levels stipulated by local regulators.
