Hong Kong and Malaysia boost market access
The securities regulatory authorities of Hong Kong and Malaysia have signed an agreement to facilitate dual listings and expand the range of products eligible for mutual recognition, including real estate investment funds. The goal is to attract international investments and achieve a greater balance in reliance on external markets. Malaysia's stock exchange collected $1.41 billion through initial public offerings (IPOs) during the first five months of 2026, which is equal to the total amount raised in all of 2025. It is worth noting that the collaboration includes expanding market access through the creation of joint indices and facilitating secondary listings, with Hong Kong aiming to enhance its financial prominence and attract capital from regions such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
