SGX won't give up on ASX Merger

Door still slightly open as SGX responding in writing to the provisional 'no' from Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan.

In a statement released Thursday, the SGX said in response to the FIRB’s invitation to provide further comments, and following discussions with the FIRB, SGX has today provided further written responses to the FIRB in connection to the ASX-SGX merger proposal. "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. SGX will make market announcements and update shareholders, as appropriate," SGX added.

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.
