KUALA LUMPUR: It has become increasingly important for Malaysian investors to align their financial activities with broader societal values, in line with the global responsible-investing trend, says Bursa Malaysia Bhd head of investor strategy and development Stephanie Tan.

Using the solid performance of FBM KLCI in the first half of the year (1H24) as background, she said national policies such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 will play a pivotal role in charting Malaysia’s long-term sustainable and inclusive economic reform.
