Streamlining Dual-Listing Documentation in Hong Kong and Malaysia — From Procedural Streamlining to Substantive Compliance: Navigating Regulatory Requirements and Market Roles under the New Framework
On 30 September 2026, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) launched a Single Submission Arrangement. A company that wants a primary listing in one market and a simultaneous secondary listing in the other now needs only one application and one listing document.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) supplies much of the surrounding infrastructure, including recognition of Bursa Malaysia, joint indices and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
