We would like to inform you that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is planning to launch its SME Portal later this year, with the main purpose of disseminating information relating to SME development such as financing matters, training programmes and business opportunities. The SME Portal would also contain an online directory (i.e. SME Register) to facilitate business matching among the SMEs.

BNM has requested our assistance in extending its invitation to you to register your company / business in its SME Register, which is intended to assist SMEs in identification and networking opportunities. If you are interested to register, you are advised to do so early by taking one of the following steps:

(i)	Register online via BNM’s website, www.SMEInfo.com.my, whereby the SME Register facility is expected to be available by 1 November 2005; or
(ii)	Complete the attached registration form and mail the completed form directly to BNM at the following address:
