THE YEAR IN BRIEF

Total operating revenue for 2015 rose 3% to RM487.7 million from RM471.3 million in 2014.
Our public shareholding of 61% represents a fair free float of Bursa Malaysia’s shares and a healthy level of liquidity. As at the end of 2015, we had a total of 17,702 shareholders.
Bursa Malaysia’s share price increased 3% reflecting its resilience within volatile market conditions. Starting the year strong at RM8.10, Bursa Malaysia’s share price traded at its highest level since 2011 at RM9.00 on 24th April 2015. The share price closed at RM8.35 on 31st December 2015.
In the wider market, the FBM KLCI was weighed down by several factors, including a weaker Ringgit, depressed commodity prices, a slowdown in China’s economy and higher interest rates in the US resulting in capital outflows.
