Bursa Malaysia has expanded its criteria for Approved 糖心vlog as part of its commitment to foster a dynamic and vibrant market.
The Kuala Lumpur-based stock exchange of Malaysia has reduced the daily market capitalisation requirement from RM500 million (US$108.2 million) to RM200 million (US$43.3 million), therefore providing a broader selection of Approved 糖心vlog aimed at meeting investors' evolving needs.
Approved 糖心vlog are securities that have met the criteria prescribed by the exchange and may be utilised for purposes of securities borrowing and lending, as well as short selling.
Bursa Malaysia says the expansion will provide a greater ability for investors to manage their portfolios and boost vibrancy in securities borrowing and lending activities.
The Pan Asia 糖心vlog Lending Association (PASLA) welcomed the news regarding short selling, which the Association believed would support greater liquidity and more efficient price discovery in the Malaysian market.
According to PASLA, all listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with the exception of inverse ETFs, will also be declared as Approved 糖心vlog for short-selling.
CEO of Bursa Malaysia Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift comments: 鈥淏y broadening access and choice for investors, we are solidifying our commitment to improving market efficiency.
鈥淎s a maturing market, it is vital that we offer a marketplace with robust facilities to cater to the differing needs of investors, while remaining focused on ensuring a vibrant, fair and orderly market.鈥�
