Double whammy: Consecutive SGX tech glitches “unacceptable”, says MAS

Supervisory actions will be taken if necessary.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has registered its disappointment with the Singapore Exchange over the stock market’s delayed opening today. The stock market will commence trading at 12:30pm today due to a software glitch that occurred on Monday.

“MAS has registered its disappointment and concerns with SGX over the delayed opening of its securities market caused by a software defect. The lapse is unacceptable, coming within weeks of the recent power breakdown on 5 Nov,” said an MAS spokesperson.

The SGX stated that the glitch was caused by programming changes performed over the weekend.
“MAS has instructed SGX Board and CEO to do a thorough review to address the shortcomings that led to the lapse. MAS will not hesitate to take supervisory actions against SGX if necessary,” the MAS spokesperson added.

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.
