KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia has confirmed its plan to introduce a new futures contract for used cooking oil, pending industry consultation and regulatory approval.
“Bursa Malaysia is looking to offer a new futures contract for used cooking oil, which is currently undergoing industry consultation and is subject to regulatory approval,” said a Bursa Malaysia spokesperson in a short reply to a query from Bernama.
The exchange's statement follows a foreign news report suggesting that it is considering launching a futures contract for used cooking oil, driven by increasing demand for biofuel feedstock.
