Securities Commission Malaysia Boosts Cross-Border Ties with China Under Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030

The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) led a high-level delegation to China to explore cross-border investment opportunities.

This visit aligns with the fourth pillar of the new Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (CMP), aiming to deepen international connectivity and attract diverse investors.

Strategic Meetings with Chinese Regulators

The delegation held discussions with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) to enhance regulatory cooperation.

Engagements also included major institutional investors such as the China Investment Corporation and fund managers like China Asset Management Company.

Focus on Product Innovation and Market Linkages

Key topics covered enhanced participation in cross-border exchange-traded funds (ETFs), potential dual listings, and expansion of Islamic offerings like sukuk.

Cooperation in enforcement, investigation, and market surveillance was advanced to build a resilient cross-border ecosystem.

The initiative reflects Malaysia's longstanding bilateral economic ties with China, marking it as the first destination for CMP regional engagements.

Historically, such partnerships have grown amid increasing trade and investment flows between the two nations.

The impact is expected to unlock new investment flows, broadening Malaysian investor access to Chinese capital pools.

Looking ahead, this positions Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and Bursa Malaysia as key players in mobilizing global capital.

Led by SC Chairman Mohammad Faiz Azmi, the move strengthens Malaysia's role as a gateway to ASEAN markets.
