SGX trading momentum picked up in May

Total securities trading value rose by 12% last month.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) continued its upward momentum in May, according to the latest report from RHB, with total securities trading value rising by 12% month-on-month to $30b.

Securities average daily value grew by 24% month-on-month, while total contracts traded increased to $18m or 3% month-on-month.

Multiple news reports also indicate that US-listed tech companies are planning secondary listings in SGX, whilst SEA, Razer and Grab are already exploring such options.

RHB called the SGX a regional Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) leader, citing SGX’s pioneering of ESG derivatives early this year and recent launch of ESG REIT derivatives.

It expects its earnings for the next two financial years to grow by 6% and 3%.

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.
