Malaysia's RHB wants to start Indonesia bank
Malaysian lender RHB Capital expects to start its operations in Indonesia by the end-2012 should it manage to complete an acquisition of Bank Mestika Dharma in the third quarter of this year, said RHB's top official on Tuesday. The 1.1 billion ringgit ($358.13 million) deal, first launched in 2009, has been delayed repeatedly due to uncertainties surrounding investment policies in Indonesia's banking sector.
