Islamic capital market has potential to expand


“In 2020, the country’s capital market registered an overall growth of 7% compared with 3% in 2019. This is largely due to the ICM segment, which increased by 11%, compared to 8% the previous year,” said SC executive chairman Datuk Syed Zaid Albar in his speech at the Islamic Capital Market Summit 2021: Connecting Islamic Capital Market To Shape a Sustainable Future.
