MAS forms review group to boost Singapore’s equities market
The review group will be supported by two workstreams.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has formed a review group to recommend measures to strengthen equities market development in Singapore.
The review group will explore new initiatives to boost the equities market and increase private sector participation, including involvement from capital market intermediaries, investors, and listed companies.
It will be supported by two workstreams: the Enterprise and Markets workstream which will address market challenges, foster listings, and facilitate market revitalisation; and the Regulatory workstream, which will enhance the regulatory regime to facilitate market growth and foster investor confidence.
The two workstreams will involve stakeholders with expertise in corporate finance, investment banking, asset management, legal services, and corporate governance.
The review group will recommend a set of measures and complete its report within 12 months.
