In 2022, greater emphasis was placed on strategic engagements with all key stakeholders including market participants, intermediaries, industry associations, other regulatory authorities, businesses, investors, the government (ministries, state governments and agencies), universities, the media, as well as the SC employees. A stakeholder mapping process was applied to identify and categorise stakeholders according to their areas of interest and tailor the engagement process to ensure that the SC was meeting their needs and expectations.

Consistent and constant communication with stakeholders via consultations, one-on-one meetings, dialogues and briefings is key to facilitating the effective discharge of the SC’s roles and responsibilities.

Such engagements enable the SC to formulate facilitative policies, promote a robust regulatory framework, and encourage continuous growth and development of the capital market. This will generate more positive outcomes and align with the SC’s mission to promote a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market.

Internally, the SC continued to hold employee engagements and staff discussions, which helped further promote a high-performing culture and a positive working environment.
