SGX's Malaysian trading link to boost share volume

It could boost RHB's forecast of $1.39b.

The linking of the Bursa Malaysia (BM) and Singapore Exchange (SGX) is likely to boost securities average trading volume (SADV) in 2019, RHB said.

Singapore Business Review previously reported that Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) will link the stock market trading between the two exchanges by end of this year.

There will be joint regulatory supervision by both MAS and the SC.

According to a report, the network should help to improve trading activities on SGX.

RHB forecasted SADV to hit $1.39b in 2019, compared to the 2Q2018 figure of $1.14b.

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.
