KUALA LUMPUR — Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad Group (BPMB) is allocating over RM700 million in strategic initiatives to accelerate Malaysia’s export ecosystem and broader economic transformation agenda.
The initiative is being driven through its flagship BizConnect with Exporters Programme (BizConnect), organized in collaboration with the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE).
In a statement, BPMB Group said the over RM700 million allocation will focus on export-focused financing, protection, and capacity-building solutions designed to accelerate export expansion, business internationalisation, and global competitiveness.
The initiative reaffirms BPMB’s broader role in operationalising RM9 billion in strategic initiatives under the National Budget 2026.
Following a successful pilot session in Kuala Lumpur involving 30 companies, BizConnect is expected to expand its reach to engage nearly 100 export-oriented and export-ready businesses across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru.
According to the group, BizConnect serves as a platform to strengthen business capabilities, enhance global competitiveness, and support Malaysian companies expanding into regional and international markets.
Participating businesses will benefit from end-to-end support, encompassing access to tailored financing solutions, export advisory, market intelligence, strategic partnerships, ecosystem linkages, and capacity-building programmes designed to strengthen international readiness.
By providing integrated advisory services, strategic partnerships, and market access support to complement its financing solutions, the program enables Malaysian businesses to scale regionally and globally.
BPMB added that the initiative reinforces its role in driving measurable developmental impact in line with Bank Negara Malaysia’s Performance Measurement Framework.
The effort aims to build stronger business resilience, greater export participation, and sustainable economic growth, supporting national priorities under RMK13, NIMP 2030, and NETR, while aligning with the MADANI Economic Framework.
