SGX RegCo seeks feedback on changes to streamline ETF requirements of market-makers

Consultation is open until 26 September 2025.

Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) is consulting the market on its plans to remove administrative requirements for notification and announcement when exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of designated market-makers (DMMs) cease, or resume, bid and offer quotations, according to a SGX release on 5 September.

This proposed move will bring SGX practices in line with those of other global markets.

According to SGX, the proposed changes result from a review of the regulatory framework around the trading of ETFs to identify areas that may impact the listing and trading of ETFs.

SGX said this follows the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s enhancement of the grant for the Equities Market Singapore Scheme for ETFs in July 2025 to facilitate more ETF listings.

The consultation is open till 26 September 2025.

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.
