KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — The Securities Commission Malaysia has approved additional measures by Bursa Malaysia Bhd to assist market participants in the current volatile and challenging market environment. They are also empowered to exercise their discretion on whether to impose force-selling measures on clients.
All the above, effective March 27 until September 30 2020, are subject to brokers meeting their own capital adequacy ratio and shareholder funds as required by Bursa Malaysia.“This move will help brokers continue focusing on their business and assist their clients during this period of unprecedented volatility and uncertainty resulting from the broader market impact of Covid-19,” SC chairman Datuk Syed Zaid Albar said.
Allowing substandard rulings may create bad assets or 3-rated quality for brokers; may also create a fragile financial market; a deceived temporary stability. Wonder whether delaying the implosion is a wise move. BursaMalaysiaKL
