Investors not convinced giving up QR can slash compliance costs

Singapore

MARKET players here broadly agree that listed companies should not be required to report non-essential information like changes in equity to the Singapore Exchange (SGX) every quarter.

But some are also concerned that the SGX's new suggestion to abolish quarterly reporting (QR) for small-cap firms that make up 62 per cent of all issuers listed here could result in the investing public losing more interest in the market.
