Guest: Wong Kar Choon, Transactions Accounting Support Partner, Deloitte Malaysia
Straight As for Malaysia’s IPO Market? In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into the dynamic world of IPOs as Malaysia’s capital market outperforms its regional peers. Despite a 36% decline in overall Southeast Asian IPO proceeds, Malaysia doubled its funds raised in 2024 with 55 listings—the highest number since 2006. With record ACE Market listings and increasing foreign investor interest, we examine what’s fueling Malaysia’s IPO success and whether this momentum can be sustained.
Joining us is Wong Kar Choon, Transactions Accounting Support Partner at Deloitte Malaysia. Drawing on insights from Deloitte’s Southeast Asia IPO Capital Market 2024 Report, the conversation explores key drivers behind Malaysia’s robust performance, including strong political stability, attractive price-to-earnings ratios, expedited regulatory approvals, and tax incentives for tech companies. Kar Choon discusses how these elements position Malaysia as an attractive destination for both domestic and international investors and outlines the trends to watch for in 2025. We also delve into the differences between the ACE market and the main market, as well as potential risks from broader macroeconomic uncertainties.
