Bursa Malaysia Gets SC Approval To Revise Listing, Regulatory-Related Fees

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia Bhd has received approval from the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) on the proposed SC fee applicable to Bursa and revisions to selected listing and regulatory-related fees for both listed issuers and market participants to be charged by the exchange. 

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the company said it received the approval on Oct 30, 2025, under Section 9 of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA).

“The approval includes listing-related fees for the Main, ACE and LEAP Markets, and regulatory-related fees. Specific notifications will be made to the relevant stakeholders, and the fees revision will take effect from Jan 1, 2026,” it said.

The exchange said the additional fees to be collected by Bursa each year from the fees revision, primarily from annual listing fees, are estimated to be in the range of RM28 million to RM34 million per annum.

It noted that the increase in additional fees to be collected following the revision will not have any material impact on Bursa’s earnings, taking into consideration the SC fee announced on Oct 17, 2025.

“This is the first revision to Bursa’s regulatory-related and listing-related fees since 2001 and 2007, respectively.

"The revision is timely and appropriate, reflecting the new SC fee and the increased cost of regulation, including manpower and systems, to support Bursa’s role as a frontline regulator and market operator,” it added.
