With Malaysia’s flourishing fintech landscape and supportive regulatory framework, there exists a clear demand for innovative investment solutions. We are confident that we can replicate the success we have seen in Singapore here and work hand in hand with investors and market participants to further enhance Malaysia’s capital markets and financial infrastructure competitiveness on both the regional and international stage.” Xu added.
