Kuala Lumpur (VNA) – The 21st Invest Malaysia (IMKL 2023), the country’s annual national conference on capital and money markets, opened in Kuala Lumpur on March 8.

Themed ‘Reshaping Malaysia’s Narrative: Strengthening Resilience & Sustaining Growth’, the IMKL forum attracted approximately 1,500 delegates, including local and foreign fund managers, attending in-person and virtually. The event was co-hosted by the Bursa Malaysia Berhad and Maybank Berhad.
