Strategy moves toward measurable outcomes
Group managing director and group chief executive officer Mohd Rashid Mohamad said RHB must demonstrate where growth will come from, how it can generate returns above the cost of capital and why its capabilities can support shareholder value through changing market conditions.
The lender is entering the final year of its three-year Progress27 strategy. Its stated priorities include profitability, customer service and responsible growth, while management also sees opportunities from regional connectivity, artificial intelligence adoption and demand for sustainable financing and advisory services.
Capital allocation remains central
RHB is developing a formal dividend policy, subject to the necessary approvals. Management said disciplined capital management remains important as the group balances investment in growth, technology and transformation with capital strength and shareholder returns.
For the six months ended June 30, RHB Bank recorded net profit of RM1.66 billion, up from RM1.55 billion in the corresponding period a year earlier. Revenue was RM8.62 billion, compared with RM8.89 billion previously. The bank also declared an interim dividend of 15 sen per share for the second quarter.
Business profile and competitive setting
