INTERNATIONAL: HKEX Adds Bursa Malaysia as Recognised Stock Exchange

Thursday July 23 2026

On 23^rd July 2026, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (HKEX), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) announced that it has added Bursa Malaysia as a Recognised Stock Exchange (RSE).

This will enable public companies with a primary listing on Bursa Malaysia’s main market to apply for a secondary listing in Hong Kong. The recognition increases the number of RSEs in Southeast Asia to four, with the others being the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the Singapore Exchange, and the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

The recognition of Bursa Malaysia builds on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between HKEX and Bursa Malaysia Berhad earlier this year, reflecting their shared commitment to strengthen market connectivity and enhance access to cross-border opportunities for issuers and investors. The announcement coincides with the signing of a separate MOU between Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) to expand mutual market access, underscoring the deepening ties between Hong Kong and Malaysia’s financial markets.
