Chief Executive Officer’s Message and Management Discussion and Analysis

Dear Shareholders,

As a “market on the move”, Bursa Malaysia steadfastly positioned itself to make the most of 2013’s abundant opportunities. Our 2011-2013 Strategic Blueprint helped us stay the course and turn in a stronger financial and operational performance. As we brought to fruition the many initiatives outlined in the Blueprint, we made robust strides forward. Today, Bursa Malaysia’s role as an integrated exchange and catalyst of growth for the Malaysian capital market has been strengthened. Moreover, the building blocks are now in place to further unlock our potential.

As we set our sights on unlocking our future potential, allow me to put in perspective the efforts undertaken these last three years under our 2011-2013 Strategic Blueprint to strengthen our foundations and position us for future growth.

The Blueprint we introduced in 2011 brought about these results:

  • It laid out new areas of focus and gave the Exchange a new impetus that clearly brought about a steep change in our overall performance;
  • It led to improvements in the quality and efficiency of our services, enhancements to our regulatory framework and an expansion of our product offering;
  • It also saw us increasing our investments in people and technology as well as strengthening stakeholder ties.
As a result, Bursa Malaysia today has a more facilitative trading environment, an enhanced exchange ecosystem and an improved competitive edge. Moreover, we have drawn closer towards realising our ambition of becoming a High Performance Organisation (HPO).

Our efforts to date have reinforced our position as the second largest exchange in ASEAN and propelled us closer towards our ambition of becoming the preferred exchange in the region. Not one to sit on our laurels, we will continue to leverage on the good foundations laid to further realise our potential.
