The Malaysia Securities Commission (SC) has unveiled the Capital Market Masterplan 2026–2030, a strategic blueprint with a long-term 20-year vision for the capital market’s role in national growth and economic transformation. Under the plan, Malaysia’s capital market is projected to grow faster than GDP, expanding at a 6–8% compound annual growth rate to RM5.8–6.3 trillion by 2030 from RM4.3 trillion in 2025, driven by new listings, institutional capital mobilisation, value-creation programmes and stronger corporate bond financing. Aligned with national priorities including the MADANI Economy framework, the 13th Malaysia Plan, the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the National Energy Transition Roadmap, the CMP is anchored on four themes: vibrancy, inclusivity, sustainability and regional opportunities. The agenda covers measures to enhance market valuations, trading activity and issuer access, reinforce the value proposition of bonds and sukuk, broaden access to capital market products and services supported by financial literacy and digital technology, mobilise financing for climate mitigation, transition, adaptation and resilience, and position Malaysia as a regional gateway by supporting cross-border expansion and attracting foreign listings and bond/sukuk issuance, including niche products with foreign underlying. To oversee implementation and accountability, a Capital Masterplan Steering Committee comprising key government officials and private sector representatives will be established.
