Capital Market Review and Outlook

The global economy experienced considerable challenges in 2022 shaped by the war in Ukraine, intensified global inflationary pressures, tightening global financial conditions, and an economic slowdown in China.

The global economy experienced considerable challenges in 2022 shaped by the war in Ukraine, intensified global inflationary pressures, tightening global financial conditions, and an economic slowdown in China. Domestically, the Malaysian economy remained resilient and continued to recover following the reopening of the economy, underpinned by robust domestic demand. Against the backdrop of higher global financial market volatility, conditions in the domestic capital market remained orderly and it continued to play its critical role in financing economic activity and mobilising savings, with a notable improvement in fundraising activities in 2022. Going forward, the Malaysian economy is projected to continue to recover in 2023, although at a more moderate pace, given the increasingly challenging global economic environment. The domestic capital market will continue to be influenced by key global developments and is expected to stay resilient and orderly, given Malaysia’s firm macroeconomic fundamentals and supportive policy environment.

Evolving the Regulatory Approach: Shared Accountability, Efficiency and Embracing the Digital Age

Capital markets are constantly evolving and innovating, impacted by global and domestic
events and shaped by the growth of technological advancement.

Capital markets are constantly evolving and innovating, impacted by global and domestic events and shaped by the growth of technological advancement. It is therefore essential for the SC to ensure its regulatory approach remains prudent yet progressive to maintain the integrity and fairness of the capital market, while spurring its progress and development. In 2022, the SC strengthened the surveillance and supervision of markets, intermediaries and regulated individuals. This was done mainly through focusing on a number of strategic priorities to build resilience and trust in our markets by encouraging good conduct through the promotion of responsible businesses, enhancing governance standards as well as cultivating self-regulation and a compliance culture. Effective enforcement actions were also carried out to raise standards of behaviour and deter misconduct, while investor protection initiatives were implemented to further bolster market confidence and stability.

Enabling a More Relevant, Efficient and Diversified Market

Enabling a more relevant, efficient and diversified market is imperative to facilitate a competitive and inclusive capital market.

Enabling a more relevant, efficient and diversified market is imperative to facilitate a competitive and inclusive capital market.

The SC’s developmental agenda also aims to further catalyse investments, expand the funding ecosystem, and empower investors for a better future, while embracing the digital age. In addition, the SC continued to enhance Malaysia’s competitiveness in sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) as well as broaden and deepen the ICM to further strengthen its value proposition to solidify global leadership.
