  "account": "Budget 2027 allocates RM270 million to support Malaysian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through alternative funding methods like equity crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending, according to the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC). The government aims to enhance businesses' access to capital and reduce dependence on traditional financing. SC Chairman Mohammad Faiz Azmi indicated that these measures represent the initial step in accomplishing the objectives outlined in the Capital Market Masterplan 2026-2030. The budget also introduces incentives for dual-listings on Bursa Malaysia and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, aiming to provide local companies with access to a broader investor base and facilitate higher capital raising. Additionally, the MyABE Scheme, which includes Employment Pass facilitation, seeks to attract talent and stimulate regional expansion for eligible listed companies. Furthermore, the introduction of a Multi-Family Office model under the existing Single Family Office Incentive Scheme is set to bolster Malaysia's status as a wealth management hub, targeting RM20.8 billion in assets under management. Measures to promote sustainable financing, including tax deductions and exemptions for Sukuk PRISMA issuances and green Sukuk, aim to contribute to the RM90 billion to RM100 billion sustainable financing goal by 2030.",
