It’s not all about the size: SGX

This is what CEO Magnus Bocker pointed out after failing to take over ASX Ltd.

A Reuters report said Bockner downplayed size and quoted the SGX CEO as saying, "There is a danger if you think that scale is survival."

“Bocker was less than enthusiastic about the current round of merger mania in the exchanges space, telling reporters that Singapore is focusing on organic growth,” said the report.

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.
