SGX RegCo proposes shift to disclosure-based market rules

It aims to support enterprises, boost investor confidence, and enhance market efficiency.

The Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) is proposing significant changes to move towards a more disclosure-based regulatory regime.

It aims to support enterprises, boost investor confidence, and enhance market efficiency.

"The proposed measures will provide investors an expanded range of investing opportunities and better ability to make investment decisions in reliance on relevant and material information," said Tan Boon Gin, CEO of SGX RegCo.

The proposed changes, now open for public consultation, include streamlining qualitative and refining quantitative mainboard admission criteria, removing the financial watch-list, and adopting a more targeted approach to post-listing queries.

SGX RegCo stated it will maintain rigorous oversight of corporate disclosures and trading activity, continuing its focus on admitting quality issuers and taking action against market misconduct.

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.
