Bloomberg Opens New State-Of-The-Art Office in Kuala Lumpur

KUALA LUMPUR — Bloomberg today expanded its commitment to
Malaysia with the opening of a new office in Kuala Lumpur City
Centre, featuring state-of-the-art training facilities, a
broadcast studio and expanded floor space to allow for future
expansion. The opening event was attended by Bloomberg L.P CEO
and President Dan Doctoroff, Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief
Matthew Winkler, Minister and CEO of PEMANDU Dato Sri Idris Jala,
and senior government, business and finance figures.

“As Malaysia continues to grow in stature as a leading regional
and international financial center, we will continue to add
resources to this incredibly important market,” said Dan
Doctoroff, CEO and President of Bloomberg L.P. “That’s why we
entered Malaysia over 20 years ago, and that’s why we are
opening a brand new state-of the art facility in Kuala Lumpur
today. This new office provides a unique space in which to
innovate, support our customers and stay ahead of trends and
insights in the Malaysian economy, with ample room for us to
grow even further with Malaysia.”

As part of the company’s enhanced commitment, Bloomberg will
also be providing specialized training to 125 participants in
areas including foreign exchange and Islamic finance at its new
premises in support of the Financial Sector Talent Enrichment
Programme (FSTEP).

Supported by the Malaysian financial services sector, FSTEP is
an industry-driven project consisting of a one-year intensive
training in banking and insurance. The programme is managed by
Institut Bank-Bank Malaysia in collaboration with Bank Negara
Malaysia, and aims to contribute in building a talent pool to
serve the needs of the financial services industry.

The new office and added training commitment are part of
Bloomberg’s ongoing investment in product development, news
coverage and training in Malaysia, as ASEAN’s third largest
economy continues to internationalize its financial sector.

Most recently, Bloomberg collaborated with Bank Negara Malaysia,
the Association of Islamic Banking Institutions Malaysia and
Bursa Malaysia to launch three sukuk indices for Malaysia, the
world’s biggest sukuk market.
