Bursa Malaysia Honours Top Brokers And Market Intermediaries At The Bursa Excellence Awards 2017 - Driving Excellence, Celebrating Success

Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or “the Exchange”) gave recognition to the top performing brokers and market intermediaries at its Bursa Excellence Awards 2017 last night for their contributions and achievements towards the growth and vibrancy of the capital market.

Themed “Driving Excellence, Celebrating Success”, the event was graced by Finance Minister II, Yang Berhormat Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani. The event saw a total of 19 awards categories being honoured across the equities, derivatives and the Islamic capital market.

Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan said, “Now in its 5th year, we are pleased that recipients are duly given the recognition for their achievements and hope these awards will enable market players to heighten their competitive edge, which will ultimately lead to further success and growth in our capital market.”

Datuk Seri Tajuddin added that Bursa Malaysia is committed towards delivering sustainable value and growth to its stakeholders as it evolves and strengthens its position to become a leading and preferred regional marketplace within the ASEAN region.

This year, in recognition of the importance of innovation towards the growth and vibrancy of the marketplace, the Exchange gave out a special award for the Best Innovative Participating Organisation.

While trading value remains a key component in the awards assessment process, regulatory and compliance aspects are also taken into consideration to give a more holistic view of the entire business spectrum. This year, the Exchange has also included the measurement of year-on-year growth of transacted value recognising efforts to promote business vibrancy and to spur expansion of the industry.
