This is the second consecutive year that Bursa Malaysia has received the award.
Bursa Malaysia Bhd was named the 'Best Islamic Finance Facilitation Platform Asia 2016', for the second consecutive year, and 'Best Islamic Exchange Asia 2016' by the Global Banking & Finance Review.
"The BSAS platform saw average daily trading value grow 121 percent to RM15.2 billion in 2015, which can be attributed to the increased domestic and international demand especially from the Middle East/North Africa and the Asia regions," it said.
"In 2015, BSAS received two other awards for Best Islamic Exchange 2015 by the Global Islamic Finance Awards and Best Interbroker for Islamic Transactions 2015 in the 10th Islamic Finance News Service Providers Poll," it said.
CEO Datuk Seri Tajuddin Atan said the consistent double-digit growth was testament to the wider acceptance and increasing investor confidence in the BSAS.
"We will continue to remain focused on efforts to increase the breadth and depth of our Shariah-compliant products and services for both institutional and retail investors," he said.
