Megan Cheah, a writer for The Business Times, provided an insightful analysis of the 2024 performance of stock exchanges in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Her report highlighted key trends shaping these ASEAN markets and their competitive dynamics within the region.

In 2024, the Malaysian stock exchange emerged as the leader in ASEAN for the total number of new listings, narrowly outpacing Indonesia. This achievement underscores Malaysia’s ability to attract and support companies seeking public listing, reaffirming its position as a vibrant hub for equity markets in Southeast Asia.

Market observers believe that Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand will continue to dominate in new listings and capital raised through their exchanges in 2025. These nations possess a robust combination of promising listing candidates, active investors, and skilled regulatory and market professionals. Together, these factors foster an environment conducive to sustained growth and success in equity fundraising.

As ASEAN’s key players in capital markets, the Malaysian, Indonesian, and Thai exchanges demonstrate their readiness to meet future opportunities. Their consistent performance in supporting new equity listings is a testament to their resilience and strategic importance within the global investment landscape.
