SC: Capital market stakeholders should align focus, assess impact to best cater to needs

KUALA LUMPUR: While the Malaysian capital market is set to benefit from the projected domestic economic recovery, it is essential for the stakeholders to align focus and assess the impact to deploy different approaches and initiatives that best cater to the market’s needs, said the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) today.

吉隆坡：证券委员会表示，虽然马来西亚资本市场将受益于预计的国内经济复苏，但利益相关者必须调整重点并评估影响以部署最能满足市场需求的不同方法和举措今天的马来西亚（SC）。

Its executive director (Islamic capital market development) Sharifatul Hanizah Said Ali said in doing so, the SC has produced the Capital Market Master Plan 3 (CMP3), a five-year strategic plan for the growth of Malaysia's capital market.

其执行董事（伊斯兰资本市场发展）Sharifatul Hanizah Said Ali 表示，证券委员会制定了资本市场总体规划 3（CMP3），这是马来西亚资本市场增长的五年战略计划。

She noted that the strategic initiatives over the next five years will be guided by key development and regulatory priorities.

她指出，未来五年的战略举措将以关键发展和监管优先事项为指导。

"These strategic thrusts focus on catalysing competitive growth, empowering investors for a better future, and shaping a stakeholder economy, whilst embedding shared accountability, prioritising efficiency, and outcomes, as well as embracing technology,” she said in her keynote address at the ninth Malaysian Financial Planning Council e-Conference today.

“这些战略重点侧重于促进竞争性增长、赋予投资者更美好的未来和塑造利益相关者经济，同时嵌入共享责任、优先考虑效率和成果，以及拥抱技术，”她在第九届大会的主题演讲中说马来西亚财务规划委员会今天的电子会议。

Sharifatul Hanizah said the SC aims to facilitate a conducive environment to support investor empowerment and elevate financial literacy in line with the CMP3.

Sharifatul Hanizah 表示，证券委员会旨在营造一个有利的环境，以支持投资者赋权并根据 CMP3 提升金融知识。

She added that the Malaysian capital market has remained resilient with a 3.0% growth to RM3.5 trillion in 2021 from RM3.4 trillion in 2020.

她补充说，马来西亚资本市场保持弹性，从 2020 年的 3.4 万亿令吉增长 3.0% 至 2021 年的 3.5 万亿令吉。

"Notwithstanding the various challenges brought by the fluctuating economic conditions, the capital market continued to play its critical roles in financing the economy with a notable increase in fundraising activities and encouraging the growth of the overall fund management industry," she said.

她说：“尽管经济波动带来各种挑战，但资本市场继续在经济融资方面发挥关键作用，筹资活动显着增加，并鼓励整体基金管理行业发展。”

Total funds raised in the capital market remained robust, rising to RM130.9 billion in 2021 -- above the five-year pre-pandemic average of RM121.4 billion.

资本市场筹集的资金总额保持强劲，到 2021 年增至 1,309 亿令吉，高于大流行前五年平均 1,214 亿令吉。

Sharifatul Hanizah said it is imperative to raise the bar on professional standards and conduct requirements to enhance professionalism in the financial planning industry.

Sharifatul Hanizah表示，必须提高专业标准的门槛，并提出要求，以提高财务规划行业的专业水平。

She added that the SC issued Guidelines on Conduct for Capital Market Intermediaries on 1st April, which also applies to licensed financial planners to foster good business conduct and a good corporate culture that is centred on the fair treatment of clients and to promote trust in all intermediaries.

她补充说，证监会于 4 月 1 日发布了《资本市场中介机构行为指南》，该指南也适用于持牌理财规划师，以促进良好的商业行为和以公平对待客户为中心的良好企业文化，并促进对所有中介机构的信任。

Sharifatul Hanizah said while regulation can play a role to promote the right culture, the industry must also continue to shape the right behaviours within their own organisations.

Sharifatul Hanizah 表示，虽然监管可以在促进正确文化方面发挥作用，但该行业还必须继续在自己的组织内塑造正确的行为。

"To this end, it is commendable to see the industry’s harmonisation and elevation of the code of ethics and best practice standards by the relevant certification associations,” she added. - Bernama
