Bursa Malaysia and HKEX Launch Joint Index to Deepen Market Links

Bursa Malaysia HKEX joint index development has advanced as the two exchanges launched a joint large-cap benchmark and signed an agreement to deepen capital market ties.

The new HKEX Bursa Malaysia Large Cap Index tracks 60 stocks, split equally between the two markets, and is intended to support products such as exchange-traded funds.

The exchanges also agreed to cooperate on dual listings, index development, ETF access, syariah-compliant securities and carbon market opportunities.

Bursa chief executive Fad’l Mohamed said the partnership would strengthen Malaysia’s market visibility, while HKEX chief executive Bonnie Chan said it would deepen regional engagement.

The Bursa Malaysia HKEX joint index reflects a broader effort to attract cross-border liquidity and reinforce Asian market connectivity.
