KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia has enabled multi-currency fixed income instruments in its web-based Electronic Trading Platform (ETP) to ensure the ongoing relevance of the platform for fixed income instruments.

In a statement, the stock exchange operator said the ETP system was a centralised price and trade repository and dissemination for the primary and secondary bond market which provides an efficient and facilitative market control system for Bursa Malaysia to supervise the bond market.

Following the change, fixed income instruments of different currencies can now be handled by the system.
