Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim launches the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030, a five-year roadmap to strengthen Malaysia’s RM4.2 trillion capital market
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will launch the Capital Market Masterplan (CMP) 2026–2030 today.
The five-year roadmap, known as CMP4, was developed by the Securities Commission Malaysia to guide the nation’s capital market development.
This is the fourth iteration of the strategic plan, following earlier masterplans that addressed the Asian financial crisis, the global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Finance stated in October 2025 that CMP4 would introduce transformative initiatives to position the market as a stronger driver of growth, resilience, and inclusivity.
Malaysia’s capital market stood at RM4.2 trillion as of September 2025, with Islamic instruments accounting for approximately 62%.
The market reached this all-time high in 2024, rising from RM3.8 trillion in 2023, driven by growth in stock market capitalisation and outstanding bonds and sukuk.
Fund-raising activities also saw a sharp increase, reaching RM138.9 billion in 2024 compared to RM127.7 billion the previous year.
This included a record 55 initial public offerings, which collectively raised RM7.42 billion.
