SINGAPORE initial public offerings (IPOs) raised more money in 2019 than a year ago, but more diversity would be welcome, with Reits dominating new listings and set to continue doing so.
IPOs on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) raised a total of S$3.06 billion across 11 deals this year, a marked improvement from 2018 when S$730 million was raised across 15 listings.
