Singapore Boosts IPO Pipeline And Market Momentum
Singapore’s stock market is showing renewed momentum, analysts say, with IPO enquiries picking up markedly in recent months as firms seek stable markets amid easing interest-rate expectations and stronger regional capital demand. Deloitte data show Singapore led Southeast Asia IPO proceeds last year with nine deals raising about US$1.6 billion, and policymakers plus SGX are advancing measures — including a S$5 billion EQDP, Nasdaq dual-listing, and smaller board-lot sizes — to boost listings and liquidity.
