SINGAPORE: Maybank Kim Eng, the investment banking (IB) arm of the Malayan Banking group, has not made any downward revisions to its targets despite the threat of a trade war between China and the United States, saying instead that its deal pipeline remains “robust”.

The group, which is banking on the rise of China as one of the key drivers of its business, is optimistic that this year, the group will perform at least as well as last year.
