    SINGAPORE might require a big investor to inject liquidity into its stock market if it hopes to regain investor interest, said a panel of market experts on Saturday (Jul 15).

    A fund focusing on small-cap or mid-cap stocks in various sectors, as well as top-down regulation may help unlock the value of deeply discounted counters, these industry watchers told The Business Times senior correspondent Ben Paul during the Mark to Market “Live” forum. 

    Mark to Market “Live” is an extension of Paul’s popular weekly Monday column and monthly podcast of the same name. This edition took place at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel, and was the first to be held in front of a live audience.
