    [SINGAPORE] While a market meltdown in Indonesia has rattled investor confidence, Singapore-listed companies with sizable exposure to the country have been shielded from the impact.

    Singapore Exchange (SGX) market strategist Geoff Howie noted that major agri-commodity plantation companies such as Wilmar International and Golden Agri-Resources have remained resilient, with no significant institutional outflows from the sector since the start of 2025.

    The SGX-listed agri-players, he said, have delivered a “relatively defensive” performance so far this year, compared to last year.
