MAS to roll out Value Unlock programme in November

The programme will tighten governance and improve capital efficiency.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will roll out new measures in November to strengthen shareholder value amongst Singapore-listed companies, according to a speech by MAS Minister for National Development and Deputy Chairman Chee Hong Tat.

Under the Value Unlock programme, MAS will issue guidelines to help listed companies enhance governance standards, review dividend policies, and optimise capital structures. The regulator aims to ensure boards communicate more clearly with investors and make capital allocation decisions that reflect long-term performance.

MAS is working with the Singapore Exchange and industry partners to finalise the framework. The initiative is expected to influence market sentiment and encourage investors to reassess valuation multiples of Singapore equities as corporate transparency improves.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
