The SC Chairman, Dato' Seri Dr. Awang Adek Hussin, said the Malaysian capital market remained orderly and continued to finance the economy, with total funds raised hitting a record high of RM179.4 billion. This exceeded the 5-year pre-pandemic average of RM121.4 billion.
The 2022 performance, led by a record amount of corporate bond and sukuk issuances, was achieved despite increased global market volatility and headwinds. Globally, the capital market registered weaker performance in 2022 with the continued tightening of financial conditions in major markets, inflationary pressures, and the repercussions of the Ukraine war.
Dato’ Seri Dr. Awang Adek said the continued resiliency of the Malaysian capital market highlighted the value of exercising prudence and shared accountability while capitalising on growth prospects that arise. “This approach allows the market to better manage risks, preserves overall financial resilience and stability, and supports economic growth," he said.
