Singapore may soon get a third derivatives exchange

It will be backed by China.

Singapore may soon see a third derivatives exchange opposing Intercontinental Exchange Inc. and Singapore Exchange Ltd.

A report from Bloomberg noted that if the new derivatives exchange called APEX goes ahead, it would be operated by Asia Investment Pte. A Chinese-backed offshore exchange would dovetail with Beijing’s drive to raise the country’s status in global financial markets and bolster the presence of its companies around the world. A mainland firm is seeking to buy the Chicago Stock Exchange, whilst the Shanghai Stock Exchange is reportedly close to acquiring a stake in Pakistan’s national bourse.

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.
