Singapore, Aug 2 The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Friday announced a review group to strengthen equities market development.
Led by Minister for Transport, Second Minister for Finance, and MAS board member Chee Hong Tat, the group involves private sector stakeholders and public sector representatives.
The group will propose measures to encourage the Singapore Exchange (SGX) to expand internationally, attract primary and secondary listings to Singapore, and improve liquidity in the equity market to broaden the pool of Initial Public Offerings (IPO).
