HOW MALAYSIA LEVERAGED ITS ISLAMIC CAPITAL MARKET LEADERSHIP TO DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE FINANCE AND INVESTMENT ECOSYSTEM

Malaysia has a long and successful history in advocating the use of Islamic finance and Islamic capital market instruments. As one of the world’s biggest sukuk (Islamic bonds) issuers the country’s financial regulators and industry players have been at the forefront of innovation in Islamic finance. This is exemplified by its leadership in leveraging the collective Islamic finance expertise of market players to create Shariah-compliant green and sustainable financial instruments. The Malaysian capital market is uniquely poised to answer the call for sustainable finance in promoting long-term economic growth.

Supportive Regulatory Landscape

Malaysia’s capital market regulator, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), has long been aware of the need to advocate and develop sustainable finance because it aligns closely with the underlying principles of the nation’s Islamic capital market. The issuance of the SC’s Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) Sukuk Framework in 2014 heralded a significant milestone in Malaysia’s journey towards building a sustainable finance and investment ecosystem. This regulation paves the way for Malaysia to become the largest global corporate issuer of green and sustainable sukuk.

In 2017, the SC issued the Guidelines on Sustainable and Responsible Investment Funds (or SRI Guidelines), to facilitate and encourage the growth of SRI funds in Malaysia. The SRI Guidelines – which enable funds to be designated as SRI funds – apply to both conventional and Shariah-compliant funds under the SC’s purview, e.g. unit trust funds, real estate investment trusts (or REITs), exchange-traded funds (or ETFs), as well as private equity and venture capital funds.

Also in 2017, Malaysia’s central bank, i.e. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), launched the Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) Framework to re-orient Islamic finance business models towards realizing the objectives of Shariah that generates a positive and sustainable impact on the economy, community and environment through practices, processes, offerings and conduct. In April this year, BNM released the final issuance of the Climate Change and Principle-based Taxonomy (CCPT) guidance document. The CCPT aims to introduce a principle-based taxonomy for financial institutions, to assess and categorise economic activities in meeting climate-related objectives and also promote the transition to a low-carbon economy. The CCPT also standardises the classification and reporting of climate-related exposures to support risk assessments at the institutional and systemic levels, strengthens accountability and market transparency, and encourages financial flows to support climate-related objectives.

Prioritising Sustainable Investing in the Equity Market

In 2014, Bursa Malaysia (the Malaysian stock exchange) and FTSE Russell launched the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index, which constitutes Malaysian stocks selected from the top 200 companies in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index, based on their ESG performance.

In July 2021, the local bourse and FTSE Russell launched the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah (F4GBMS) Index to track the Shariah-compliant constituents of the F4GBM Index, premised on the screening methodology of the SC’s Shariah Advisory Council. The F4GBMS Index will serve as a foundation for fund managers in the development of new investment products comprising a portfolio of Shariah-compliant equities, guided by SRI principles.

Incentivising Sustainability in the Capital Market

A slew of incentives and tax exemptions have been introduced by the Government of Malaysia (GoM) and its agencies, to support and encourage the growth of sustainable finance and investment.

The SC’s SRI Sukuk and Bond Grant Scheme covers the cost of external third-party reviews for all sukuk issued under the SRI Sukuk Framework and bonds issued under the ASEAN Green, Social and Sustainability Bond Standards. Issuers can benefit from this tax-exempt grant, which offsets 90% of their review costs.

A tax deduction is applicable for expenditure on the issuance of all types of bonds and sukuk that achieve green, social and sustainable standards in Malaysia, as approved by the SC.

A tax exemption for fund management companies managing SRI funds is available for statutory income derived from the provision of fund management services for SRI funds in Malaysia.

The Green Technology Financing Scheme (GTFS), launched in 2010 to support the development of green technology in Malaysia, aims to promote green investments in eligible sectors such as energy, water, building and township, transport, waste and manufacturing - by providing easier access to financing and at a lower cost.

A Track Record in SRI

As of August 2021, a total of 20 SRI bonds and sukuk had been issued out in Malaysia – the highest number of corporate issuances in any global market. In April 2021, the issuance of Malaysia’s (first) USD1.3 billion sovereign sustainability sukuk represented the world’s first USD-denominated sustainability sukuk issued by a sovereign. The sukuk, comprising an USD800 million tranche of 10-year Trust Certificates and a USD500 million tranche of 30-year Trust Certificates, underlines the GoM’s key role in driving Malaysia’s sustainability agenda. The sukuk proceeds will be used for eligible social and green projects that uphold the SDGs, and which will also contribute to the country’s socioeconomic development. Notably, the 10-year sukuk attracted a diverse pool of investors, with 55% of the principal amount distributed in Asia; 33% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and 12% in the US. Meanwhile, some 46% of the principal amount of the 30-year sukuk has been channelled to Asia, followed by EMEA (33%) and the US (21%).

The advancements Malaysia has made in building a holistic SRI ecosystem are due in no small part to its financial sector intermediaries, which have demonstrated their strong commitment to supporting

the nation’s sustainability agenda and have delivered innovative structures along with a plethora of products. In the meantime, Malaysia’s financial regulators have endeavoured to create enabling regulations and a facilitative environment. The country’s achievements are the result of a cohesive and collaborative ecosystem working towards a common goal – a better, greener and more socially responsible world.
