it’s not your commercial bank. it’s not your typical financial services. it’s not your usual bank tvc. as the prime minister himself said, local entrepreneurs setting sights outside malaysia should look up exim bank. for all sorts of businesses plus the kitchen sink. no business too small, no ambition too big.
