SC, Bursa to uplift suspension of regulated short selling

The temporary relief measures and flexibilities relating to margin financing, due to expire on Dec 31, will be extended to June 30 next year.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and Bursa Malaysia Bhd will uplift the temporary suspension of regulated short selling (RSS) of securities after it expires on Dec 31 but it will have enhanced control measures.

In a joint statement on Wednesday, they said they had reviewed other market management measures introduced this year following heightened market volatility arising from the broader impact of Covid-19.
