NASDAQ, SGX ink deal on collaborative listing agreement

It eyes boosting companies’ access to capital market funding.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) and NASDAQ inked a collaborative agreement to explore the launch of simultaneous or sequential listings.

The new agreement seeks to enhance the channels available for companies to access capital market funding and enhance their corporate profile in both markets.

According to a press release, the two are "committed to supporting companies that are interested in pursuing this route."

SGX and NASDAQ are also reviewing the possibility of implementing the latter's International Designation programme to Singapore-listed companies to tap US investors.

The programme increases visibility and potentially improves the liquidity of shares in the US on the over-the-counter (OTC) market.

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.
