KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia and Persatuan Remisier Bumiputera Malaysia (Pribumi) have launched the Pribumi Bursa Malaysia Zakat Index (PBMZI), a new customised index designed to promote greater recognition of public-listed companies (PLCs) that choose to adopt corporate zakat practice.
The exchange’s chairman Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar said the launch of the zakat index – the world’s first – seeks to recognise zakat-paying listed issuers and encourage greater zakat contributions from more PLCs.
