I am honoured to be featured in recent reports by The Business Times and Thomson Reuters regarding the newly proposed Global Listing Board (GLB) and the outlook for the Singapore bourse.
I would like to thank Ms Ranamita Chakraborty of The Singapore Business Times for the front-page story on 16 January 2026, titled “Secondary listings on SGX set to grow in 2026, but regulatory frictions loom.” In the article, I shared my thoughts on the envisaged wave of secondary listings that are expected to be attracted to the Singapore bourse following the recent announcements by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Exchange.
My thanks also go to Yixiang Zeng of Thomson Reuters for publishing my views in the regulatory intelligence report, “Singapore authorities to simplify dual SGX, Nasdaq listings,” on 14 January 2026.
Key Highlights: As I noted in the Thomson Reuters report, the success of the new board relies on market fundamentals:
“The Singapore market needs to, firstly, sustain the upswing momentum that started in the second half of 2025 to attract new large issuers to seek a listing on the Global Listing Board.”
“Fostering a dynamic, vibrant market where issuers trade at high valuations and attract fluid liquidity is critical to attracting new issuers to list on the new board.”
