SGX proposes Listing Manual review
The last time the listing manual was revised was in 2011.
Singapore Exchange said it has commenced meetings with market practitioners and stakeholders including the Association of Banks in Singapore Corporate Finance Committee in early July 2012 to establish a working committee to review the SGX Listing Manual.
“This is part of SGX’s continuing efforts to improve the Singapore securities market and keep pace with the developments in corporate governance standards worldwide,” said SGX in an announcement.
SGX revised the listing manual in 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2011. The bourse said involving the ABS reflects interest in having the practitioner’s point of view in addressing practical issues and arriving at workable solutions.
“The recent proposals by the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) will be carefully considered as part of the review effort. SGX welcomes proposals from market participants, both professional and the public. You may wish to send proposals and suggestions to the Regulation team at lm@sgx.com,” it said.
