SGX achieves milestone Aa2 rating

The rating is the highest given to any exchange group by the investor service.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) reported today it has obtained an Aa2 rating from Moody’s, a first for any exchange group.

Factors that Moody’s brought into light with their decision include SGX’s importance to the financial sector, solid credit fundamentals, high profitability, and SGX's reliable governance framework. 

Loh Boon Chye, CEO of SGX, agrees that this rating is an affirmation of their current market position.

“The Aa2 rating affirms SGX’s strong market position in the securities and derivatives markets, as well as our ability to generate solid and growing profits. The strong investment grade rating also reflects the financially-disciplined approach SGX has taken and will continue to take as we scale up our multi-asset business.”

Moody’s also keeps a positive outlook for SGX, as they believe that this positive classification can continue well into 2021-2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
