Singapore Boosts Growth Capital To Attract Tech IPOs
Singapore announced on Feb. 12–13 a multi-billion SGD package to attract growth capital and support tech listings, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and the Monetary Authority of Singapore said. The measures include SGD 1.5 billion for a pre-IPO fund, SGD 1 billion for growth-stage company funding and SGD 1.5 billion to develop fund management and boost SGX investor participation. Officials framed the moves as competing with Hong Kong’s recent tech IPO surge and strengthening the city-state’s regional financial links.
