On 28th May 2026, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) released its revised Equity Guidelines and Response Paper, introducing targeted enhancements to the primary market framework.

This initiative is aimed at improving access to public listings for issuers, besides clarifying the roles and strengthening the differentiation of each market segment, which are as follows:

  • MAIN Market – Premier market for larger, more established corporations
  • ACE Market – Market for small and mid-sized corporations, serving as a stepping-stone to the MAIN Market

These enhancements follow the public consultation concluded in December 2025 under the market segmentation review, incorporating feedback from various stakeholders.

The adopted proposals for the MAIN Market will take effect on 3 June 2026 through the revised Equity Guidelines.
