The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI’s expansion from 30 to 50 stocks is expected to reduce the dominance of banking and utilities, analysts said.

Technology is set to be the biggest beneficiary, gaining its first representation in the index with a weighting of about three per cent.

Construction and consumer sectors are also expected to gain more weight.

Meanwhile, banking could see its weighting fall from about 42 per cent to 36 per cent, while utilities will also decline.

The expanded KLCI will be introduced in two phases from Dec 21, 2026, with the full transition completed in June 2027.
