I agree that the Singapore Stock market has seen lack lustre volumes. Infact Reits that Singapore has once pride itself as one of the best exchange to invest in has grossly underperformed to the extent that the dividend received even those exceeding 5% does not compensate for the loss in value of the reits. Some of the reits even lost their value to pre-Covid prices or even IPO prices. These are reits like Mapletree Industrial, Mapletree Pan Asia even Capitaland China, to cite a few examples. It is arguably better off to just leave your money in fixed deposits which yield higher return without the risk of loosing the principal value of investment. It is also worth noting that the shares of prime blue chips listed on the SGX like City devt, has lost at least

Measures — which may include cutting listing costs and expanding the pool of equity derivatives — will be implemented in phases before the end of a 12-month review period, he said.“It is not an easy task to revitalize our equities market, given the global headwinds faced by other exchanges and the increasing competition in this space,” Chee said at an event in Singapore on Monday. “But we are prepared to make changes and try new ideas. Because if we don’t try, our chances of success is zero.”The latest steps came after growing calls from industry players to rejuvenate the local equities market, which has been plagued by lagging performance, shrinking market capitalization and sluggish trading volumes. The task force includes representatives from the central bank, state investment firm Temasek Holdings Pte., Singapore Exchange Ltd. and other industry stakeholders.One area being explored is to streamline the prospectus disclosure requirements for issuers of initial public offerings including secondary listings, Chee said. The Monetary Authority of Singapore will also look at removing some of the checks that are required for all retail customers.Other potential changes include incentives to encourage listing and ways to lower listing costs, as well as enhancing research coverage, he said. The group may explore ways to attract emerging-market growth companies in areas such as fintech, innovation and sustainability.The group will also study measures to boost liquidity, including incentivizing market makers to facilitate price discovery, broadening stock indexes and expanding the pool of equity market derivatives, Chee said.“We are prepared to make bold changes, but we want to do so after we carefully assess the trade-offs,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":17,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
