Mengurangkan Risiko Sistemik dan Meningkatkan Kestabilan Kewangan
Pada 2021, rangka kerja tadbir urus risiko seluruh SC telah dipertingkatkan sebagai sebahagian daripada inisiatif menyeluruh untuk mewujudkan pendekatan pemantauan risiko yang lebih bersepadu dan mampu meramal. Rangka kerja tadbir urus risiko menyepadukan spektrum risiko yang lebih luas seperti risiko teknologi, siber dan tatalaku. Ini dijalankan dalam Jawatankuasa Pengawasan Risiko Sistemik (SROC) dan Jawatankuasa Pemantauan Perakaunan, Pasaran dan Korporat SC (AMCS).
Sesi libat urus SROC kerap diadakan untuk membincangkan kebimbangan yang timbul daripada pelbagai segmen di seluruh pasaran modal. Pasaran ekuiti dan bon domestik, aliran dana asing dan penyertaan dagangan terus dipantau rapi untuk mengenal pasti sumber tekanan yang berpotensi. Selain itu, kedudukan kewangan syarikat tersenarai dan pakej rangsangan ekonomi telah diperkenalkan oleh kerajaan untuk menangani impak COVID-19 merupakan antara bidang tumpuan yang dibincangkan.
Pada 2021, SC kerap mengadakan sesi perbincangan kawal selia bersama dan perkongsian maklumat dengan pihak pengawal selia lain seperti BNM dan Lembaga Perkhidmatan Kewangan Labuan (Labuan FSA) untuk mengenal pasti bidang kebimbangan risiko sistemik dalam kewangan dan pasaran modal di Malaysia.
SC meneruskan usahanya untuk melaksanakan pendekatan bersepadu untuk memantau, mengurangkan atau mengurus risiko sistemik yang berpotensi. Rajah 1 mengetengahkan penemuan daripada penilaian risiko berikut ke atas pelbagai komponen pasaran modal.

Mitigating Systemic Risks And Promoting Financial Stability
Enhanced Risk Governance Framework
In 2021, the SC-wide risk governance framework was enhanced as part of an overall initiative to have an effective integrated and predictive risk surveillance to maintain regulatory agility.
The structured risk governance framework integrated the wider spectrum of risks such as technology, cyber and conduct risk at the SC’s Systemic Risk Oversight Committee (SROC) and Accounting, Market and Corporate Surveillance Committee (ACMS).
Intensified surveillance
The SC continued to intensify its surveillance of systemic risk to maintain market resilience and stability. Regular SROC engagements were held to deliberate concerns emanating from various segments across the capital market. Domestic equity and bond market, foreign fund flows and trade participation continued to be monitored closely for potential stress points.
In addition, measures and economic stimulus packages introduced by the government to weather the impact of COVID-19, market trading conduct and the financial position of listed companies were among the focus areas for discussion.
Thematic assessments
The SC also conducted thematic assessments covering investors’ fund flows, the position of firms, and policy decisions to ascertain the possible impact on the capital market. In 2021, the SC reviewed and enhanced its crisis indicators on potential emerging risks in the
capital market.
The enhanced crisis indicators provided a reference point for escalation to SROC when the identified indicators and triggers materialised and ensured prompt response to manage and prevent any issues of concern that might lead to a systemic crisis.
Joint regulatory discussions
In 2021, the SC conducted frequent joint regulatory discussions with other authorities such as Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA) to identify systemic risk concern areas within the financial and capital markets in Malaysia.
Monitoring of various components of the capital market
The SC continued its efforts to undertake a methodological and integrated approach to ensure any potential systemic risk was being monitored, mitigated, or managed. Figure 1 highlights the findings from the following risk assessments on the various components of the capital market.
