SGX not in a hurry for another merger and acquisitions deal: DBS Vickers

Singapore Exchange still has enough opportunities in its existing business, DBS said.

According to DBS Vickers, SGX had sent written responses to the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) about the bid. SGX has not amended the terms of the proposed merger. SGX and ASX maintain their belief that the merger proposal would result in significant benefits for Australia and Singapore, market users and the shareholders of SGX and ASX.

DBS believes regardless of the deal, SGX has ample opportunities in its existing business and is well positioned to leverage on the prospects within Asia. SGX will continue to pursue organic and other strategic growth opportunities, including further dialogue with ASX on other forms of co-operation. They do not think SGX is in a rush to pursue another M&A so soon.

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.
