KUALA LUMPUR, 29 October 2025 — Public Gold Group, Malaysia’s leading integrated precious metals company, has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Malaysian enterprise to secure international membership with the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE), one of the world’s most influential gold trading platforms.
The landmark achievement positions Public Gold at the forefront of the ASEAN precious metals industry, granting the company direct access to SGE’s extensive global trading network, physical delivery infrastructure, and renminbi-denominated gold contracts. The membership also enables Public Gold to source and deliver gold through SGE’s international vault network located strategically in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.
The SGE international membership marks a major step in Public Gold’s ongoing internationalisation strategy, which aims to expand its global footprint and strengthen Malaysia’s position in the international bullion market. In addition to its SGE membership, the company is in the final stages of securing membership with the India International Bullion Exchange (IIBX) and is preparing to enter the London market, the world’s largest and most established bullion trading hub.
With an established operational presence in Dubai, the Middle East’s premier gold trading centre, Public Gold is now well positioned to serve customers and partners across Asia, the Middle East, and soon, Europe.
“Joining the Shanghai Gold Exchange is not just a business achievement; it is a strategic move to connect Malaysia directly to the world’s most important gold markets,” said Dato’ Seri Louis Ng, Founder and Executive Chairman of Public Gold Group. “With a growing presence in Dubai, India, London and beyond, Public Gold is set to build a truly global network that benefits both our customers and the Malaysian gold industry as a whole.”
As a member of both the Malaysia Gold Association (MGA) and the Singapore Bullion Market Association (SBMA), Public Gold aspires to strengthen Malaysia’s role in the global precious metals trade. The company operates as a fully integrated precious metals business across the entire value chain, from wholesale bullion trading to retail savings products, secure storage services, and Shariah-compliant gold offerings.
The company’s expansion into the SGE, IIBX, and London markets underscores its commitment to enhancing sourcing efficiency through direct participation in the world’s largest gold exchanges, while creating greater export opportunities for Malaysian gold products in China, India, the Middle East, and Europe. Public Gold also plans to introduce innovative gold-saving products linked to international market benchmarks, enabling retail investors to participate more directly in the global gold ecosystem.
Headquartered in Malaysia, Public Gold continues to broaden its presence across Southeast Asia, Dubai, and London as part of its mission to serve as a bridge between ASEAN’s gold investors and the world’s major bullion markets, advancing Malaysia’s standing as a rising force in the global precious metals arena.
