Singapore continues to solidify its position as a global financial hub, providing unparalleled access to the dynamic Asia-Pacific market. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has been instrumental in this, with strategic initiatives designed to attract foreign enterprises seeking capital growth and market expansion.
SGX’s Proactive Approach to Global Listings
In line with Singapore’s Budget 2025, which emphasises innovation, enterprise growth, and international collaboration, the SGX has rolled out measures to rejuvenate its equities market. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced a nearly S$4 billion injection into the local stock market, bolstering market liquidity and diversity. These initiatives include tax incentives, streamlined listing processes, and a robust investment fund focused on local equities.
The SGX Grant for Equity Market Singapore (GEMS) scheme offers significant financial support, co-funding eligible listing expenses - 70% for Mainboard listings (cap of S$2 million) and 20% for Catalist listings (cap of S$300,000). This reduces the cost burden for foreign companies and enhances the attractiveness of Singapore as a listing destination.
