CEO’S MESSAGE AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

2015 ACHIEVEMENTS

• Achieved highest operating revenue of RM487.7 million since listing
• Grew revenue contributions from the Derivatives Market and the Islamic Capital Market
• Reviewed the ACE market framework to attract more listings
• Launched Bursa Malaysia’s Sustainability Framework to take our sustainability journey to the next level
• Enhanced access to the Derivatives Market after receiving the US Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) approval for Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (“BMD”) to be recognised as a Foreign Board of Trade (“FBOT”) with Direct Market Access
• Increased the trading value on the Bursa Suq Al-Sila’ (“BSAS”) platform by 121% due to the growing acceptance of the Murabahah principle and the introduction of tenor-based pricing

We achieved this strong result due to our continued efforts in previous years to develop and promote our markets, and by striving for operational excellence, both of which have created value for our market participants and shareholders.

The key initiatives undertaken include:

• expanding our range of products and services
• enhancing market access and engagement
• improving Corporate Governance (“CG”) standards and sustainability practices
• enhancing operational excellence in two key areas, namely refreshing our technology and building our talent pool

2015 also saw us continue to deliver on our strategic initiatives, which have introduced even greater improvements aimed at further securing the Exchange’s long-term sustainability.
