In leading the conversations on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), Maybank is proud to be a Strategic Partner of the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI)’s inaugural JS-SEZ Joint Business & Investment Forum 2025, held in Johor Bahru. Suhaimi Ilias, Chief Economist at Maybank Investment Banking Group , moderated the main panel discussion, highlighting that the JS-SEZ could become a gateway to forge new partnerships with like-minded nations and strengthen regional economic integration. This is compelling in the wake of major shifts in US trade policies. With JS-SEZ’s proposition of “Win-Win Twinning”, President & Group CEO, Dato’ Khairussaleh Ramli said in his speech: “We believe that the JS-SEZ can bring meaningful outcomes, and Maybank aims to become the Strategic Banking Partner.” This Forum was a remarkable success thanks to the strong partnership with the governments, and the dedication of our teams across Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Singapore working as One Bank. Thank you all for your commitment. #JSSEZ #JohorSingaporeSpecialEconomicZone #HumanisingGrowth
