FOREIGN investor interest in the KLSE has been on an upward trend and accounted for a third of all trading on the exchange last year, its executive chairman Datuk Mohd Azlan Hashim said.
He said the significant international participation in the KLSE, currently Asean’s largest in terms of market capitalisation, was a good indication of the attractiveness of the Malaysian capital market. In terms of volume, international trading activity had been on a rising trend since 1999, he added.
