BPAM LAUNCHES iPHONE APP FOR MALAYSIAN BOND MARKET DATA

KUALA LUMPUR, November 5, 2012 – Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia (BPAM) has launched its latest innovation: An iPhone App providing data on the Ringgit Bond Market.

Known as iBPAM, the App is targeted specifically towards anyone interested in the Ringgit Bond and Sukuk markets. This encompasses market professionals, researchers, students and retail bond investors.  Via an intuitive interface, the App provides near-real time data on bond tender results and rating actions. It also provides most active trading data, bond schedules and yield curve summaries, all of which can be viewed in further detail if so desired. It is available for free from the iTunes App Store.

“BPAM is proud to uphold our tradition of innovation with iBPAM. For the first time ever, anyone can now have our high quality data delivered to their mobile device at no cost. While such data will undoubtedly be invaluable to market professionals, we are also confident it will be useful to retail investors. This is in line with the aspiration to develop retail participation in the Malaysian fixed income market” said Meor Amri Meor Ayob, BPAM’s Chief Executive Officer.
