The regulator issued this document to clarify the Qualified Issuer Framework, which permits eligible entities to issue corporate bonds or sukuk to retail investors without a prospectus. To qualify, issuers must have issued or guaranteed bonds of at least RM500 million in the past five years and ensure the new bonds carry a minimum credit rating of AA-. The regulatory fees for these issuances remain identical to those prescribed for other eligible issuers under the Retail Bonds Guidelines.
