Statement By Bursa Malaysia On The Proposed Asian Trading Board

The proposal to set up an ASEAN trading board is at a conceptual stage at the moment and it is too premature for the exchange to comment further. However, we welcome this direction as it bodes well with Bursa Malaysia's plans to encourage cross-trading among the regional exchanges. We are optimistic that this move will encourage more foreign investors to value the attractive opportunities offered by ASEAN exchanges.
