CIMB Group Holdings Berhad is partnering with the Securities Commission Malaysia and Bursa Malaysia Berhad on a pilot initiative to develop a new Shariah-focused investment instrument.
The project, conducted under the Securities Commission’s Innovation Lab (FIKRALab), aims to expand the range of Shariah-compliant investment opportunities and support the growth of Islamic banking across ASEAN, according to a March 27, 2026 press release.
CIMB noted that more than half of its financing portfolio in Malaysia is now Shariah-compliant.
In Indonesia, its subsidiary CIMB Niaga is also progressing with plans to spin off its Islamic banking unit into a standalone, full-fledged Islamic bank.
