SGX sees ‘robust’ IPO pipeline as Singapore explores ‘sweet spot’ to draw listings
The Republic could also attract regional firms seeking access to international markets, says the bourse’s head of global sales and origination
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.
