MAS to roll out Value Unlock programme in November

The programme will tighten governance and improve capital efficiency.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will roll out new measures in November to strengthen shareholder value amongst Singapore-listed companies, according to a speech by MAS Minister for National Development and Deputy Chairman Chee Hong Tat.

Under the Value Unlock programme, MAS will issue guidelines to help listed companies enhance governance standards, review dividend policies, and optimise capital structures. The regulator aims to ensure boards communicate more clearly with investors and make capital allocation decisions that reflect long-term performance.

MAS is working with the Singapore Exchange and industry partners to finalise the framework. The initiative is expected to influence market sentiment and encourage investors to reassess valuation multiples of Singapore equities as corporate transparency improves.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
