Dato' Muzaffar Hisham talks about the business segment's tough balancing act between growth and risk management.

He also shares the strategies undertaken by Maybank Global in the current challenging operating environment faced by banks today.

We ask him about the earnings momentum moving forward for the business that is the second largest earnings contributor to the Maybank Group.

Muzaffar also reveals that the M&A option is "on the table" for them. He believes that "scale is key" but points out that the debate in this case would be timing, opportunity and valuation.

Is inorganic growth on the cards and would they consider acquiring non-banking assets?

Listen in.
