The Equities Market Review Group had completed its work and announced its final set of measures earlier this week. The Review Group has been a strong public-private collaboration to strengthen Singapore’s equities market as a well-functioning, trusted, and vibrant platform for regional enterprises and investors. The key measures announced include: • SGX–Nasdaq dual listing bridge, which provides growth companies with a strong Asian nexus and global ambitions streamlined access to capital and liquidity across both regions. When the new Board is up and running around the middle of next year, high-growth companies will be able to raise funds on both exchanges with a single prospectus. • S$30 million ‘Value Unlock’ Programme, supporting listed companies in strengthening shareholder engagement and developing strategies for long-term value creation. • S$2.85 billion allocation to a second batch of six EQDP managers. This brings the aggregate commitment to S$3.95 billion across nine managers, helping to further develop the local fund management industry and increase investor participation in Singapore equities. • Enhancements to trading and custody efficiency, including market-making incentives to lower execution costs, modernising post-trade custody, and reducing board lot size to 10 units for shares above S$10 to improve accessibility for investors. MAS MD Chia Der Jiun and SGX CEO Loh Boon Chye will drive implementation of these initiatives through the Equity Market Implementation Committee (EMIC). They will sustain our efforts to enhance Singapore’s position as a trusted and competitive capital markets destination. My sincere thanks to Der Jiun and Enterprise SG Chairman Lee Chuan Teck for chairing the Regulatory and Enterprise and Markets workstreams respectively, and to the Review Group, workstreams, and our industry partners for their contributions and valuable feedback.
