Royal Bank of Scotland and Malaysia’s CIMB Group yesterday said that they have reached an agreement that will see CIMB buy most of RBS’s cash equities, equity capital markets and corporate finance businesses in Asia-Pacific. The deal will propel CIMB into one of the largest regionally based investment banking franchises in Asia-Pacific and will enable RBS to exit these businesses at a limited cost.
