Bursa Malaysia • Annual Report 2013
27
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.
2011- 2013: A MARKED SHIFT IN GROWTH TRAJECTORY
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.
