Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) signed a two-year memorandum of understanding to expand access to shared data resources, supporting capital market funding initiatives for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and mid-tier companies (MTCs) while enhancing supervisory and enforcement functions. The collaboration is positioned as an initiative under the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 and the SC’s Catalysing MSME and MTC Access to the Capital Market: 5-Year Roadmap (2024-2028). Integration of SSM’s corporate data is intended to improve analytics on MSME and MTC funding needs, identify high-potential unlisted companies and transition them to capital market funding avenues including Bursa Malaysia’s Main, ACE or LEAP Markets, as well as equity crowdfunding (ECF) and peer-to-peer (P2P) financing. The MoU also covers joint monitoring of entities to prevent financial scams and improve enforcement outcomes, use of financial data to monitor progress on sustainability disclosures, and joint knowledge sharing and training in areas such as data analytics, sustainability reporting, market insight generation and strategic communication. The SC and SSM will set up a reciprocal data-sharing mechanism to enhance surveillance capabilities and support the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF) by tracking the financial disclosure levels of non-listed entities.
