BUDGET 2025: Singapore unveil tax incentives to boost SGX appeal

Tax incentives will be given out to local companies and fund managers who list in the SGX.

Singapore is rolling out tax-related incentives to make its stock exchange more attractive for investors and companies looking to go public.

The Ministry of Finance has received and accepted the recommendations from the equities market review group, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during the Budget 2025 speech, 18 February.

Incentives will be given to Singapore-based companies and fund managers that will list in Singapore.

Tax incentives will also be given out to fund managers that invest substantially in Singapore-listed equities, in order to encourage more investment.

The move comes as Wong recognized past feedback that said that the Singapore stock exchange was not an attractive option for listing, even for companies that are focused on Singapore and Southeast Asia.

More details will be announced in due course.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
