KUALA LUMPUR: After months of speculation, AMMB Holdings Bhd’s second largest shareholder Tan Sri Azman Hashim has come out to say that he does not discount the possibility of buying Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd’s (ANZ) stake in AMMB.

“I guess so if ANZ is selling, then one of the options will be that (about him buying the stake),” he said on the sidelines of the 20th Malaysian Banking Summit yesterday in Kuala Lumpur.
