[SINGAPORE] Allowing private companies to tap the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP) could strengthen the pipeline of listings, noted industry observers.
The proposal comes as a newly formed workgroup supported by MAS and the Ministry of Trade and Industry seeks to enhance the city-state’s growth capital ecosystem.
Established last month, the group aims to bridge the gap between private funding and public listings, creating a smoother pathway from the venture capital stage to initial public offerings (IPOs).
