Energy Efficiency Financing in Malaysia - Sustainable Finance

This one-day programme serves as a refresher, updating Relationship Managers and Credit Risk officers on the latest BNM Climate Change Principle Taxonomy (CCPT) practices outlined in the newest version of the BNM CCPT DDQ.

Additionally, it provides a fundamental understanding of the energy efficiency landscape in Malaysia, which is crucial from a banker's perspective.

For bankers and financial professionals involved in green and transition financing, understanding the energy efficiency landscape in Malaysia and the Southeast Region is increasingly important for identifying investment and financing opportunities, conducting effective risk assessment, and mitigating risks in line with BNM CCPT guidelines. Furthermore, it enhances the Relationship Managers' confidence in client engagement, enabling them to offer tailored financial solutions that precisely meet energy efficiency project requirements. This knowledge also supports the development of specialised financial products, encourages innovation in green and transition financing, identifies lending and investment opportunities, and contributes significantly to broader sustainability goals.
