SGX ends ASX merger hope

It's over for a disappointed SGX and many investors as Labor Aussie Treasurer officially rejects merger deal.

In a statement from the SGX, it said that: " This morning, SGX was informed that the Australian Treasurer has made a statement that he has rejected the proposed merger of ASX and SGX. In these circumstances, the parties have agreed to mutually terminate the Merger Implementation Agreement entered into on 25 October 2010. Asia’s most international exchange, we will continue to pursue organic as well as other strategic growth opportunities, including further dialogue with ASX on other forms of co-operation. "

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.
