: The Ministry of Finance expects Malaysia’s capital markets to remain resilient and supportive of the economy, buoyed by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, high domestic liquidity, and a well-developed infrastructure.
“Towards this end, the Securities Commission Malaysia continues to focus its efforts on raising domestic investors’ digital savviness and positioning fintech to promote solutions in the halal economy, sustainable and responsible investment , and Islamic social finance,” the ministry said. MOF said as a result, the Islamic capital market continued to lead the country’s fundraising and investing, with a size of RM2.4 trillion as of the end of July, accounting for 64.4 per cent of the total capital market size in Malaysia, driven by sukuk issuances.
Sukuk issuances amounted to RM178.2 billion from January to July, with Malaysia continuing to record the largest share of global outstanding sukuk at 38.8 per cent.The funds raised via the domestic equity market during the period amounted to RM2.9 billion, driven by the initial public offering under both the Main and ACE markets.
MGS and corporate bond yields during the seven-month period declined broadly with one-year, three-year, five-year and 10-year MGS down by two basis points , 18 bps, 26 bps and 26 bps respectively, due to expectations of monetary policy reaching its peak.
