    [SINGAPORE] The outlook for Singapore’s initial public offering (IPO) market is gearing up to be promising in 2026, supported by ongoing market reforms and a growing pipeline of listing candidates, industry observers noted.

    “The 2026 pipeline is shaping up to be one of the most encouraging in recent years,” said Ong Hwee Li, chief executive officer at investment banking company SAC Capital.
