Malaysia’s securities regulator has officially launched Impakrintas, its first social exchange, an avenue for non-profit organisations to raise donations for eligible social impact projects and deliver a “meaningful” return.
It also allows individual and corporate donors to have greater visibility into social impact projects and facilitate funding opportunities.
Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) announced the official launch in a statement on May 25, around three months after the exchange began operating.
Impakrintas has since onboardedeight non-profits across a range of social impact areas, including healthcare access, health education, food security, and environmental sustainability.
According to Mohammad Faiz Azmi, the SC’s chairman, the “encouraging initial response of the social exchange underscores the capital market’s role in supporting social impact, connecting funding with real social needs”.
“This platform ensures that every ringgit is accounted for and every project delivers a meaningful social return,” he says.
