Kuala lumpur: The Securities Commission Malaysia’s (SC) forthcoming Capital Market Masterplan 4 (CMP4) is set to align closely with Malaysia’s current national priorities, including the 13th Malaysia Plan and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), among other government economic initiatives. This strategic alignment aims to bolster capital mobilisation efforts for financing transitions, adaptations, and climate resilience.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, SC Chairman Datuk Mohammad Faiz Azmi emphasized the importance of increasing green investments to support the nation’s energy transition and prepare for future climate challenges. Speaking at the Eco-Business Conference 2025, he highlighted the SC’s ongoing efforts to shape long-term views and objectives for CMP4, which will build on the foundations of CMP3 (2021-2025).

Furthermore, during the same event, Mohammad Faiz discussed the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF), launched in September 2024. The initiative aims to ensure consistent and comparable sustainability reporting by Malaysian corporations, aligning with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards set by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Malaysia has gained international recognition from the IFRS Foundation for being among the first in ASEAN to adopt these standards.

The initial phase of NSRF implementation is underway, impacting large Main Market issuers with a market capitalisation exceeding RM2 billion, which encompasses approximately 130 companies. The results of these efforts will be visible next year when the annual reports for 2025 are finalised.
