The stock market was always a crucial source for a nation's economic development, both in terms of maintaining and increasing its overall performance. There is a public market for buying, selling, and issuing stocks that trade on a stock exchange, which is referred to as a stock exchange or the stock market. A strong stock market position is beneficial for economic development because it enables enterprises to raise funds from the general public, which is essential for growth. From an economical perspective, the price of a stock represents the expectations of investors on the future financial status of a certain country. It is expected that the stock market positioning will demonstrate the ability of a country in the current financial system, and it will assist financial intermediaries between lenders and borrowers. A large number of macroeconomic variables were identified in numerous studies as having an impact on the stock market. As a result of the demutualization process, the KLSE was renamed and is now recognized as Bursa Malaysia Berhad, which is a demutualization corporation. In order to improve Its competitive position and to be accountable in a competitive market trend, BMB sought to demutualize in order to become more consumer and market connected as a part of the stock market sector. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI was created in 2009 as a new branding that would replace the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI), and this institution serves as the primary market indicator for the Malaysian stock exchange. The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) is used as a reference and source of data in the majority of research studies. The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) is constructed in accordance with the rules established by the Financial Times (FTSE). The index is constructed in accordance with the internationally recognized technique and standard.
