AmBank Group, together with AmInvestment Bank and Baker Tilly Malaysia, has reaffirmed its commitment to helping Malaysian businesses strengthen their capital market readiness.
The collaboration aims to encourage businesses to begin IPO preparations earlier through a more structured approach, with greater focus on governance, transparency and financial readiness.
The event also marked the 10th anniversary of Baker Tilly Malaysia’s “Roadmap to IPO” initiative, which has supported Malaysian businesses by providing practical guidance and insights into the listing process.
Over the past decade, the programme has evolved alongside Malaysia’s capital market landscape, reflecting increasing regulatory expectations and the growing importance of strong governance frameworks and operational preparedness among companies seeking public listings.
The milestone comes following recent enhancements to the Main Market listing requirements, which introduced higher profit thresholds and placed greater emphasis on financial quality and IPO readiness.
Over the past financial year alone, AmBank facilitated more than RM6 billion in financing, supporting businesses at various stages of their expansion and capital market journeys.
Patrick Chin, Head of Commercial Banking 2, Business Banking at AmBank Group, said many companies aspire to enter the capital markets but may lack clarity on the steps required.
“At AmBank, we recognise that many businesses aspire to access the capital markets but may not always know where to begin. Through strategic collaborations such as this with Baker Tilly Malaysia and AmInvestment Bank, we are helping bridge that gap by providing companies with practical insights, expert guidance and access to the right ecosystem of support,” he said.
He added that the initiative aims to empower more Malaysian businesses to achieve sustainable growth and realise their listing ambitions.
