JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia -- Singapore's United Overseas Bank on Wednesday announced a plan to bankroll and support projects in a special economic zone (SEZ) in Malaysia's Johor state, as interest in investing in the area heats up among companies in Southeast Asia.
UOB said it will "fast-track" investments into the zone, billed as a landmark bilateral project of the Malaysian and Singaporean governments to boost economic exchange, located just north of the city-state's border.
