BAIDURI Bank has been recognised by World Finance as The Best Banking Group for Brunei 2016. This marks the eighth consecutive year Baiduri has received this award, the first being in 2009. The award was presented to Pierre Imhof, CEO of Baiduri Bank at the London Stock Exchange Studios, London.
Speaking on this latest recognition, Pierre Imhof said, “We are honoured and proud to win the Best Banking Group 2016 for the eighth consecutive year. This certainly marks another major milestone for Baiduri Bank in our twenty-two years of serving the Bruneian people.”
Following the award presentation, Mr Imhof was interviewed by Paul Richardson, a World News Media producer on the progresses made by the Group over the last year.
Touching on investment services in the country, Mr Imhof spoke of the shifting customer trend towards a diversified investment portfolio, “We recently launched Baiduri Capital which offers a range of global investment products and services. Through our online trading platform, we can already trade online in various international stock exchanges such as Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the US.”
He further elaborated that in light of the country’s current economic situation, there is a need for Brunei to diversify. “An aspect to diversification is to attract foreign direct investment. With the recent announcement of the Bank of China entering Brunei, I think it is a good thing. The benefit of this diversification should be transferred to the local population whether they are individuals or companies.”
