[KUALA LUMPUR] Bursa Malaysia’s net profit declined 8.8 per cent year on year to RM68.4 million (S$20.6 million) for the first quarter of 2025, the exchange operator said on Monday (Apr 28).
Revenue fell 1.5 per cent to RM184.4 million from a year earlier, as lower trading revenue and higher expenses weighed on performance, Bursa Malaysia chief executive officer Fad’l Mohamed said in a statement.
The average daily trading value on the securities market dropped nearly 12 per cent to RM2.8 billion, compared to RM3.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024. Fewer trading days – 58 versus 60 a year earlier – also contributed to the revenue decline, he said.
