Securities Commission Malaysia and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission have implemented simplified procedures for companies seeking simultaneous listings in Malaysia and Hong Kong. Under the framework agreed in their July 2026 memorandum of understanding, an applicant can make a single submission using one listing document for a primary listing on either the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong or Bursa Malaysia’s MAIN Market, alongside a secondary listing on the other market. Dedicated dual listing teams and coordinated reviews will align regulatory timelines, streamline queries and reduce duplicate submissions and compliance costs at the initial public offering application stage. Securities Commission Malaysia has issued guidance for Hong Kong companies listing on Bursa Malaysia’s MAIN Market, while the Hong Kong regulator has published a circular governing the arrangement.
