MALAYSIA: The Securities Commission (SC) Malaysia has held an annual industry dialogue to discuss new capital market initiatives, according to an official statement. This followed the launch of Ekonomi MADANI.
The dialogue discussed issues and challenges over a range of topics under the three broad areas of investment opportunities, funding inclusivity and market reforms in the capital market.
The dialogue also focused on the three new capital market measures that were recently announced by the Malaysian prime minister, namely reducing the current board lot size for trading on Bursa Malaysia from 100 units to a more affordable level, enabling fractional share trading by investors through stockbrokers as well as enabling automatic transfer for companies listed on the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, subject to meeting certain criteria.
