MALAYSIA: SC Signs MoU with SSM to Enhance Data-Sharing

Wednesday March 11 2026

On 11^th March 2026, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate greater access to shared data resources in support of capital market funding initiatives for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and mid-tier companies (MTCs) as well as enhanced supervisory functions.

The collaboration is a key initiative under the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030 (CMP) which also aligns with the SC’s Catalysing MSME and MTC Access to the Capital Market: 5-Year Roadmap (2024-2028) while complementing SSM’s role in strengthening the corporate ecosystem through the provision of comprehensive corporate data and enhanced regulatory oversight.

It supports greater inclusivity and the growth of MSMEs and MTCs by strengthening data analytics on funding needs through the use of a reliable database.

By integrating SSM’s comprehensive corporate data, the SC will identify high-potential unlisted companies, their funding needs and subsequently transition them into the capital market via Bursa Malaysia’s Main, Access, Certainty and Efficiency (ACE) or Leading Entrepreneur Accelerator Platform (LEAP) Markets.

The MoU also focuses on the following:

1. Joint monitoring of entities to prevent financial scams and improve enforcement outcomes;
2. Leverage financial data to monitor the progress of companies in adopting sustainability disclosures; and
3. Joint knowledge sharing and training programmes in areas such as data analytics, sustainability reporting, market insight generation, and strategic communication.
