Malaysia to set up mercantile exchange

The plan aims to deepen the domestic capital market of Malaysia, says OCBC Treasury Research.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

In an attempt to deepen the domestic capital market, PM Najib announced plans to set up a mercantile exchange within the next 12 months to allow trading in gold futures and other precious metals.

Additionally, an electronic trade platform will also be formed to allow fund-raising for non-listed firms.

Meanwhile, on the data front, June inflation came in at 1.6% yoy, slightly lower than our expectations of a 1.7% showing.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
