Malaysia unveils 5-year plan to boost capital market

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 (Xinhua) -- The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) on Monday unveiled the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (CMP), a strategic blueprint to position Malaysia's capital market as a key driver of national growth and economic prosperity.

The regulator said in a statement that with a long-term 20-year vision, the CMP supports economic transformation by accelerating growth in emerging sectors while strengthening the market's role in building a more advanced, inclusive, sustainable and regionally integrated economy.

Under the CMP, Malaysia's capital market is projected to outpace gross domestic product growth, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 6 percent to 8 percent, to 5.8 trillion ringgit (about 1.46 trillion U.S. dollars) and to 6.3 trillion ringgit by 2030 from 4.3 trillion ringgit in 2025.
