Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Financial Services Authority of the Sultanate of Oman (FSA Oman) signed a Joint Programme for Capital Market Development Cooperation, setting a two-year framework for closer supervisory collaboration, capacity building and knowledge exchange. The programme also includes work to promote Malaysian and Omani investment opportunities and to explore pathways for increased cross-border market access. Planned cooperation covers joint promotion to investors in both countries, an assessment of the feasibility of a mutual recognition agreement to support cross or dual listings of products and listed companies, staff secondments and other training programmes, and sharing published research, policy frameworks and market development strategies. SC also welcomed participation by FSA Oman regulators in the Young Regulators Development Programme organised with Durham University, and held engagements with Omani stakeholders and GCC and Omani investors, where Bursa Malaysia’s chief executive highlighted Malaysia’s capital market and Islamic capital market proposition, including 855 Shariah-compliant securities representing 80.58% of total listed securities as of June 2025. The cooperation programme will run for two years, with the mutual recognition concept progressing through a feasibility assessment under the joint workplan.
