Energy, metal listing rules meet international standards: SGX

The bourse defended itself after a Straits Times article suggested an easing of listing rules for exploration firms.

Rather than amending existing listing rules and making them more lenient, SGX said it instead added another layer of listing standards on top of existing ones, which make it in fact more stringent to prospective listers.

"SGX has introduced new listing rules for exploration companies in mineral, oil and gas (MOG) and has not eased its listing rules," said Mohamed Nasser Ismail, Head of Issuer Regulation, SGX.

"The new MOG rules are additional to current listing standards, and are equivalent to standards internationally. For instance, the proposed rules include a higher market capitalisation of $300 million, which ST has pointed out in its article, as compared to the existing $80 million," he said, noting that SGX’s current listing admission and requirements remain in place.

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.
