BPMB drives export expansion with over RM700mil in initiatives

By New Straits Times · May 25, 2026 · 2 min read New Straits Times ↗

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd (BPMB) is accelerating Malaysia’s export ecosystem with more than RM700 million in strategic initiatives under its flagship BizConnect with Exporters Programme.

The initiatives are aimed at strengthening business capabilities and supporting companies expanding into regional and global markets.

The programme, in collaboration with Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade), is designed to enhance global competitiveness among Malaysian firms through financing, advisory support, market access and capacity-building initiatives.

Part of BPMB’s broader role in operationalising RM9 billion in strategic programmes under Budget 2026, focusing on export expansion, business internationalisation and long-term economic resilience.

According to BPMB, BizConnect aligns with the priorities under the 13th Malaysia Plan, the National Industrial Master Plan 2030, and the National Energy Transition Roadmap while additionally supporting the Madani Economic Framework.

The programme is expected to engage nearly 100 export-oriented and export-ready companies across Kuala Lumpur (KL), Penang and Johor Bahru following an initial pilot session involving 30 companies in KL.

Participating businesses will receive integrated support covering export advisory services, tailored financing solutions, market intelligence, strategic partnerships and capacity-building programmes aimed at improving international readiness.

BPMB said BizConnect also serves as a platform to connect exporters with industry partners and MATRADE, enabling companies to explore new markets, strengthen export readiness and build cross-border partnerships.

By linking access to financing, expertise and networks, the programme aims to enhance the ability of Malaysian companies to compete globally while contributing to broader economic resilience.

BPMB, together with its subsidiaries Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd and SME Bank Malaysia, operates as an integrated development finance platform providing end-to-end financial and advisory support for Malaysian businesses.

The group said this structure positions it as a single access point for companies seeking financing, expertise and international market connectivity as Malaysia intensifies efforts to expand its export footprint.
