Guess which sector regained its top spot in the lineup of Singapore equity listings with proceeds of US$866 million?

According to Thomson Reuters, Singapore's IPO volume at the half-year point is at its lowest level since 2009. Secondary offerings have also declined by 52%, as investors remain very cautious over the overall macro environment.
