SINGAPORE will need to find its “sweet spot” as it seeks to attract listings from companies in the region, said Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) head of global sales and origination, Pol de Win.
Competition from other South-east Asian bourses is inevitable, as many companies prefer to list on their home turfs. Thus, Singapore must look at the types of companies that will do better here than elsewhere, he said.
For example, for larger firms with regional operations across multiple markets, Singapore could offer some distinct advantages, such as access to global investors and better visibility.
