Rahmat Lim & Partners has contributed to the Banking & Finance and Energy sections of The Legal Industry Reviews: Malaysia (Edition 5, December 2025).

In her Banking & Finance article, Partner Geraldine Su discusses Bank Negara Malaysia's ("BNM") Discussion Paper on Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector, which marks a turning point in the national conversation on technology and finance. This discussion paper stands as a clear statement of intent: BNM views artificial intelligence as a transformative force that must be cultivated responsibly rather than constrained by premature regulation.

In his Energy article, Partner Dzuhairi Jaafar Thani discusses the Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (Offshore Permit and Licensing) Regulations 2025 ("Regulations"), which came into force with the Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Act 2025. The Regulations offer a clearer understanding of offshore permitting and licensing in Peninsular Malaysia and the Federal Territory of Labuan. It is administered by the Malaysia Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Agency.
