The property developer said the partnership underscores IOIProp and RHB's dedication to supporting homeownership.
KUALA LUMPUR: IOI Properties Group Bhd (IOIProp) is partnering with RHB Banking Group (RHB) to launch home and renovation loans and financing and green property loans and financing for eligible residential properties across IOIProp's property portfolio.
The loans and financing will be offered through RHB's HB Full Flexi Home and Renovation Loan/Financing, as well as the RHB Green Residential Property Loan/Financing programmes.
In a statement yesterday, the property developer said the partnership underscores IOIProp and RHB's dedication to supporting homeownership while streamlining the move-in experience and promoting sustainable development approaches in the country.
IOIProp's head of group sales and marketing and branding, Nicole Lee Chee Yiing, said the partnership will help to smooth out the homeownership journey for buyers.
'Through RHB Full Flexi Home and Renovation Loan/Financing, homebuyers will be given access to obtain financing packages of up to 90% plus 30% loan/financing margins for selected residential properties.
'The additional 30% loan/financing margin aims to assist eligible homebuyers in covering renovation costs at attractive overall home and renovation loan/financing rates,' she said.
Lee said the renovation loans/financing will be disbursed directly to the buyers in stages based on renovation progress.
'We hope that through this financial solution in partnership with RHB, we will be able to help reduce the financing burden for buyers upon vacant possession, addressing this common pain point among home seekers.'
Meanwhile, IOIProp said under RHB Green Residential Property Loan/Financing, home purchasers can opt for loan/financing margins up to 95% (inclusive of entry-cost financing), with an additional 5% to finance mortgage reducing term assurance (MRTA)/mortgage reducing term takaful (MRTT) coverage.
'Properties with Green Building Index (GBI), GreenRE or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification are eligible under the campaign.
'The collaboration also aligns with the group's overall IOI Sustain Roadmap 2030, specifically its strategic focus on addressing climate change by reducing our carbon footprint as we continues to develop sustainable communities, among other initiatives,' it said. — Bernama

South Korea's new President Lee begins moves to tackle economic 'crisis'
South Korea's new president Lee Jae-myung and his wife Kim Hye-gyeong following his inauguration ceremony at the National Assembly in Seoul, South Korea, on June 4, 2025. - Bloomberg SEOUL: South Korea's new President Lee Jae-myung held his first cabinet meeting on Thursday (June 5) focused on devising an emergency package to address stagnating economic growth and aid households, moving swiftly to start tackling a top campaign pledge. Lee took office on Wednesday just hours after riding a wave of anger over a brief martial law imposed by Yoon Suk-yeol to win the snap election. The attempt at military rule led to Yoon's ouster and sent shockwaves through Asia's fourth-largest economy. In brief remarks open to the media, Lee told the cabinet carried over from the caretaker government put in place following Yoon's impeachment in December that there was no time to waste in getting to work as the people were facing hardship. Lee has so far only nominated a close political ally and legislative veteran as prime minister and is racing to form a cabinet and staff his office to maintain continuity in administration. The new leader expressed bewilderment on Wednesday after walking into the presidential office to find it stripped of computers, printers and even pens and was quiet like "a graveyard" with government officials who had been assigned there sent back to their posts. Most of the officials have been ordered back, Lee's spokesperson said on Thursday. Lee has made economic recovery one of his top priorities and vowed to immediately unleash fiscal spending of at least 30 trillion won (US$22 billion) to boost growth, which was projected by the central bank in May to be almost half of its earlier estimate this year at 0.8%, down from 1.5% in February. Kim Min-seok, whose appointment as prime minister requires parliamentary approval, said on Wednesday the country was facing even more economic turmoil than during the Asian financial crisis of 1997, complicated by unfavourable external factors. "Today, the economy is heading downward and stagnating, which is why I believe it's much more difficult," he told reporters. The previous government had made little progress in trying to assuage crushing US. tariffs that would hit some of the country's major export-reliant industries, including autos, electronics and steel. Lee faces what could be the most daunting set of challenges for a South Korean leader in decades, analysts said, ranging from healing a country deeply scarred by the martial law attempt to tackling unpredictable protectionist moves by the United States. On Thursday, Lee withdrew the nomination of two judges to the Constitutional Court, made by acting President Han Duck-soo before the election, his office said. Lee previously said Han had no power to nominate judges as an unelected acting leader. The ruling Democratic Party-controlled parliament also passed on Thursday special counsel acts to investigate former President Yoon on insurrection charges and his wife Kim Keon-hee over corruption allegations. The party had previously passed the special counsel acts on multiple occasions, but they were repeatedly vetoed by Yoon and then the acting president. Yoon is currently facing a separate trial on insurrection charges. - Reuters

IOI Properties' Singapore expansion to drive 9pct earnings uplift in FY26
KUALA LUMPUR: IOI Properties Group Bhd's plan to acquire the remaining 50.1 per cent stake in Singapore-based Scottsdale Properties Pte Ltd is expected to deliver a meaningful earnings uplift and enhance its strategic presence in the city-state. Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd (HLIB) said the acquisition could contribute an earnings uplift of RM89.5 million or 1.63 sen in earnings per share (EPS) in calendar year 2026 (CY26), representing nearly nine per cent of projected financial year 2026 (FY26) earnings. "Post-acquisition, net gearing is estimated to rise to 0.93 times from 0.70 times as at June 30, 2024," it said in a note. Yesterday, IOI Properties announced it is acquiring the remaining stake in South Beach development for S$834 million (RM2.75 billion), taking full ownership of the Grade A office, JW Marriott Hotel, and its retail component. HLIB said the group's higher gearing remains manageable given its stable recurring income, strong assets, and upcoming real estate investment trust (REIT) listing plan. The firm also noted that the acquisition involves operational, cash-generating assets unlike previous deals such as IOI Central Boulevard and Marina View, which locked in capital for several years before yielding returns. "As such, we expect the steady income streams from the South Beach development to sufficiently cover interest obligations, supporting a healthier debt servicing profile," it said. HLIB has maintained its "Buy" rating for the group with an unchanged target price of RM4.05. The firm said IOI Properties offers investors a rare diversified market exposure, anchored by its strategic presence in Singapore's resilient and high-value real estate market. It also holds a deep-rooted position in Malaysia's property sector, which is undergoing a structural uplift driven by economic reforms, infrastructure push, and industrial expansion. "This diversified footprint provides both defensive stability and growth opportunity, reinforcing IOI Properties' position as a compelling proxy for long-term property sector upside across the region," it added.
