KUALA LUMPUR (Dow Jones)--Bursa Malaysia Bhd. (1818.KU) said Tuesday its first quarter earnings rose 81% from a year earlier due to higher equities trading activity.

The Malaysian stock and derivatives exchange operator's net profit for the three months ended March 31 rose to MYR28.1 million from MYR15.5 million.

First quarter revenue increased to MYR88.1 million from MYR64.2 million.

Bursa said equities trading revenue had doubled from a year earlier, but derivatives trading revenue fell 9% on year.

"We anticipate a better overall performance for the Group for the current financial year," the exchange said, adding that interest in the Malaysian derivatives market is expected to improve upon the migration of derivatives products and trading activity on to the CME Globex electronic trading platform in the 2nd half of 2010.
