As essential service providers under the services sector, CMPs can continue to undertake and provide capital market activities and services. CMPs who may require verification letter(s) to facilitate travel movements for their employees or third party service providers for critical functions can email their requests or queries to

All CMPs are reminded to adhere to the applicable SOPs, be vigilant and take all necessary measures to minimise the risk of the spread of COVID-19 at their workplace. This includes observing that 30% of management staff are allowed at premises and suspending sales and marketing activities outside CMPs’ premises or in public places for areas under MCO.

Guidance for SOP on Health and Safety Measures against Covid-19 Pandemic for CMP (Guidance) issued by the SC, which outlines health and safety measures to curb the spread of COVID-19. The said Guidance and SOP for the capital market released by the SC and MKN respectively can be downloaded from
