Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (BPMB) Group, alongside its subsidiaries SME Bank and EXIM Bank, has been tasked by the Malaysian Government to lead strategic initiatives exceeding RM9b under Budget 2026. These initiatives aim to bolster Malaysia’s economic transformation by focusing on impact-driven financing, export facilitation, and the development of the SME ecosystem, aligning with the Ekonomi MADANI vision.
The Government’s confidence in BPMB’s ability to deliver high-impact financing solutions is underscored by these initiatives, which coincide with the start of the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (RMK13). The Group is committed to balancing fiscal consolidation with accelerated economic development, promoting innovation, and enhancing the well-being of the Rakyat.
Key programmes include the Semiconductor Financing Programme, with RM500m allocated to support Malaysia’s role in the global semiconductor value chain, and the MADANI Development Programme, which will channel RM3b into public infrastructure and national security. Additionally, RM1b is earmarked for the Urban Renewal and Tourism Programme to revitalise urban areas and tourism industries.
These new mandates will complement BPMB’s existing programmes, which focus on sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable development, and digital infrastructure. By aligning with national strategies like NIMP 2030 and the Energy Transition Roadmap, BPMB aims to support Malaysia’s transition towards a more innovative and sustainable future.
