KUALA LUMPUR, 26 AUGUST 2025 – The Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) hereby invites all stakeholders from various sectors to contribute valuable feedback on the Draft Final Report of the Market Review on the Digital Economy Ecosystem, conducted pursuant to section 11 of the Competition Act 2010. This strategic review thoroughly analyses five (5) key areas identified as fundamental to Malaysia's digital economy growth and development:
(i) Mobile Operating and Payment Systems;
(ii) E-commerce (Retail Marketplace);
(iii) Digital Advertising Services;
(iv) Online Travel Agencies (OTAs); and

Following the public consultation session with industry players on 19 August 2025 and a subsequent session with representatives from ministries and government agencies on 20 August 2025, the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC) presented the findings of its comprehensive market study. The study highlights key competition issues, structural challenges within the market and critical policy considerations to strengthen the nation’s digital economy ecosystem. During the sessions, MyCC also shared a set of preliminary recommendations, both specific and broad, which will serve as the foundation for future policy development towards building a fairer, more innovative and competitive digital ecosystem in Malaysia.
MyCC calls all stakeholders across sectors to provide their feedback on the preliminary recommendations contained in the final draft. This critical input will ensure our proposed framework reflects diverse perspectives from regulators, industry participants and the public, ultimately strengthening Malaysia's digital economy landscape.
All submissions must be received by 14 September 2025, to be incorporated before the study's finalisation in December 2025.
