Malaysia’s capital and equity markets, worth RM4 trillion, play a key role in driving the country’s growth.
These include stocks and bonds, creating opportunities for businesses and investors to thrive, according to Bursa Malaysia Chairman Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar.
Speaking at Invest Malaysia London 2025, Wahid stressed that investing in Malaysia is not just about financial gains but also about trust and quality in business opportunities.
Bursa Malaysia is actively working to improve company performance and ensure high standards in governance, sustainability and competitiveness.
The stock exchange has also introduced several exciting initiatives including the world’s first sharia-compliant carbon exchange and the Bursa Gold Dinar.
These efforts are aimed at increasing market accessibility and attracting more investors.
In 2024, Bursa Malaysia witnessed impressive growth, with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI increasing by 12.9%.
Market activity increased significantly, and the bourse led ASEAN in new share listings, with 55 IPOs raising RM7.41 billion.
As Malaysia takes over the ASEAN seat in 2025, Bursa Malaysia is committed to strengthening regional partnerships, making the market more attractive and resilient.
