While the Capital Market Masterplan 1 (2001-2010) was launched to build the foundation and ecosystems of the capital market, the CMP2 (2011-2020) focused on strategies that would expand the capital market further, with robust governance in place to ensure market stability and integrity. As a result of these focused plans and strategies, the domestic capital market remained relatively resilient and continued to chart strong growth, expanding from RM2.0 trillion at the start of 2011 to RM3.4 trillion at the end of 2020 (Chart 4).

The introduction of various strategic initiatives helped to improve the depth, accessibility and efficiency of the capital market, as shown by Malaysia’s overall financial sector development indicators, which continued to improve since 2010 (Chart 5).
1.2 EXPANDED ROLE OF THE CAPITAL MARKET
Over the last decade, the capital formation and savings intermediation landscape has evolved to cater to the increasingly diverse economic landscape, while embracing emerging themes on technology, innovation and sustainability. In response to the varied funding needs across the maturity lifecycle of businesses as well as changing investment preferences and appetites, Malaysia has seen continued expansion in the role of its capital market.
