Malaysian Securities Exchange is working towards maximising the potential of Malaysia's Islamic capital market, which is growing rapidly and attracting strong interest internationally, especially from other Islamic countries, said the head of exchanges Dr Zaha Rina Zahari.
She said MSEB was considering introducing several new syariah-compliant products, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and derivatives-based ETF futures, this year to further “whet the appetite” of both local and foreign investors for such products.
