    • Singapore Exchange (SGX) is a premier international exchange offering securities, fixed income, and derivatives markets across Asia.
    • It connects global investors with key Asian benchmarks and supports companies through listings, clearing, data, and sustainability services.

    Singapore exchange: A regional financial powerhouse

    Founded in 1999 from the merger of Singapore’s Stock Exchange, SIMEX, and SCCS, SGX has grown into Asia’s leading multi‑asset exchange. Headquartered in Singapore, it operates robust equity markets, a liquid offshore platform for China, India, Japan, and ASEAN benchmarks, and comprehensive derivatives and commodity exchanges. Its infrastructure spans securities trading, fixed income, and derivatives, all underpinned by high regulatory standards.

    Singapore exchange: Support for listings and market access

    SGX provides end‑to‑end support for companies seeking to list across Southeast Asia. It offers sophisticated connectivity, trading platforms, and data to global investors. Beyond listings, SGX delivers clearing and risk management services, including AsiaClear, its first OTC clearing platform introduced in 2006.

    Singapore exchange: Driving sustainability and digital innovation

    SGX is not only a financial hub but also a champion for sustainability and ESG standards. Its SGX FIRST initiative leads with multi‑asset sustainable platforms. It also publishes annual sustainability reports and provides green finance frameworks for issuers.

    Singapore exchange: Challenges amid relisting gap

    In recent years, SGX has faced sluggish growth in equity listings, reaching a 20‑year low of just over 600 companies by late 2024. To address this, regulators and SGX launched incentive measures, including tax rebates, eased listing rules, and a regional funding injection from MAS aimed at attracting new issuers.

    Singapore exchange: Adapting to geopolitical shifts

    SGX has seen rising interest from Chinese and Hong Kong firms looking to list or dual‑list amid global trade tensions. New market incentives such as a 20% rebate on primary listings and potential regulatory relaxations add to its appeal.
