Singapore needs to seek out partners, launch initiatives to reel in tech IPOs
Market observers also suggest that SGX identify a niche area, for example; more moves could emerge in Budget 2025
WITH the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Review Group looking into ways to revitalise the Republic’s stock market, observers are speculating that Budget 2025 could yield some moves on this front.
They say that the main tasks the Singapore Exchange (SGX) has to work on are teaming up with ecosystem players, and setting up initiatives to boost its attractiveness as a listing destination for tech companies and startups.
Regional peers like the Indonesia Stock Exchange have successfully wooed home-grown tech startups such as GoTo, as well as e-commerce platforms Bukalapak and Blibli.
