KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is seeing a return of foreign funds to equities, with net inflows totalling RM5.6bil for the three months to March 2016. “Foreign flows are back, market capitalisation is near all-time high,” Bursa Malaysia Bhd chairman Tan Sri Amirsham A Aziz(pic) said in his opening remark at the 12th Invest Malaysia (IMKL2016) conference here yesterday.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), which is expected to launch a fully syariah-compliant fund by January 2017, will not have a minimum of 2.5% dividend for it. According to EPF chief executive officer Datuk Sharil Ridza Ridzuan, the 2.5% minimum return drops away when members opt for the syariah-compliant fund.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has the potential to achieve better growth and must get its act together to achieve that, according to Khazanah Nasional Bhd managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar.
