Bursa Malaysia Wins Outstanding Contribution Award At The Islamic Business & Finance Awards

Bursa Malaysia was awarded the Outstanding Contribution Award by the Islamic Business & Finance Awards, becoming the first institution to win the coveted prize, which has traditionally been presented to individuals. The award is testament to the Malaysian stock market's pre-eminent position in Sukuk issuance. The Islamic Business & Finance Awards, running for its sixth year, is one of the most prominent events in the Gulf finance industry. The annual ceremony is designed to highlight, encourage and reward the exceptional performance and growth of the international Islamic business and finance community. These awards are widely considered as a benchmark of excellence in the industry.

Best Corporate Governance practices and Best Online Annual Report in Asia Pacific by IRGR

In Malaysia, we have long promoted greater transparency and accountability in terms of corporate governance processes and disclosures, and we have been at the forefront of the development of the investor relations profession. These initiatives were given international prominence in April 2010, when Bursa Malaysia received the Investor Relations Global Rankings awards for Best Corporate Governance Practices and Best Online Annual Report in Asia-Pacific. The IRGR awards are organised by MZ Consult, a leading investor relations and financial communications firm, with the support from KPMG, NYSE Euronext, Arnold & Porter, Demarest & Almeida, The Bank of New York Mellon, Corporate Asia Network, Bloomberg, NEVIR, Sodali and MZ-CCG.

Award for support of Malaysia's venture capital and private equity industry

Also in April, our 2009 move to open the avenues for efficient capital raising in the ACE Market by high growth companies was given appreciation. Bursa Malaysia was granted a Recognition Award for a Public Organisation that has Supported and Contributed Towards the Malaysia Venture Capital & Private Equity Industry by the Malaysian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association. The ACE Market allows for a much broader spectrum of companies to access the market than the narrower technology based MESDAQ board which ACE replaced. Encouraging emerging businesses to flourish is a key component of a vibrant exchange, and the ACE Market provides a natural investment environment for venture capital and private equity investors.

Bursa Suq Al-Sila's market innovation award for the Asset Triple A awards for Islamic Finance

Bursa Malaysia's work to develop a unique presence in Islamic products is a key element of our overall strategy.

Bursa Suq Al-Sila' is the world's first end-to-end Shari'ah trading platform for commodity financing and liquidity management by Islamic banks.
