Commentary By Dato’ Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer Of Bursa Malaysia - Budget 2027 Strengthens Malaysian Companies’ Pathway To The Capital Market

Date 09/10/2026

The measures announced in Budget 2027 will enable Malaysian companies to build capabilities, expand their market reach and pursue larger opportunities. For the capital market, this helps strengthen the pipeline of companies that can eventually seek public-market financing.

Investments to accelerate the growth of local semiconductor companies to higher value segments and funding for mid-tier companies across sectors such as electronic and electrical, aerospace, digital and medical devices will deepen Malaysia’s industrial and technology capabilities and prepare more businesses to tap the capital market as they grow. 

Likewise, GLIC investments aimed at supporting Bumiputera companies facilitate capability development and business expansion, preparing more enterprises for eventual public listing.

Financing guarantees for mergers and acquisitions enable firms to expand, strengthen their market positions and attract investor interest.

The proposed matching grant for listing costs under the Malaysia-Hong Kong dual-listing pathway will support companies seeking to reach new pools of investors, while strengthening connectivity between both capital markets.

As Bursa Malaysia marks its 50th anniversary, our focus remains on ensuring a vibrant and accessible capital market that continues to support the next generation of Malaysian companies and investors, while contributing to the country's long-term economic aspirations.
