    Corporate Governance

The Board currently comprises seven (7) members: four (4) Independent Non-Executive Directors of whom one (1) is the Chairman; two (2) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors (nominees of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry); and one (1) Non-Independent Executive Director, who is the Group Chief Executive Officer of Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (“BPMB”).

The Directors come from diverse backgrounds, with expertise and skills in banking, finance, business, accounting, industry, international trade, and legal matters. The present composition of the Board complies with the requirements of Bank Negara Malaysia’s Policy Document on Corporate Governance applicable for prescribed development financial institutions.

Following the completion of merger of BPMB, SME Bank and EXIM Bank effective 1 May 2025, the various Board Committees (except Board Credit Committee) within the Group were consolidated to establish Group Board Committees (“Group BOCs”) residing at the parent Bank, BPMB. This streamlining of oversight functions is to promote better efficiency and accountability in implementing holistic strategies for the benefit of the Group as a whole.

Board Committees

There are six (6) Group BOCs currently residing at BPMB which are shared by EXIM Bank.
