PETALING JAYA: Consolidation and restructuring in the banking sector will likely gain traction in 2019 after a relatively dull year in 2018, says AllianceDBS Research.
The brokerage noted that 2019 could see BIMB Holdings Bhd flattening its group structure, and a potential merger between Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Bhd (MIDF) and Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia materialising.
