Radzi calls for dedicated regulator for non-bank financial institutions

Putrajaya MP Radzi Jidin has called for a dedicated prudential regulatory agency to oversee Malaysia's non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs), such as Tabung Haji, EPF, KWAP, LTAT, and PNB. The government should consult regulatory experts, like former BNM governor Muhammad Ibrahim, to establish a "super-regulatory body" modeled on the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).

Radzi emphasized that Malaysia currently lacks a comprehensive regulatory framework for NBFIs, which play a crucial role in the financial system by affecting capital markets, government financing, market stability, and economic resilience.
