SGX and CFFEX sign co-development pact for derivatives markets

Cooperation spans product development and info sharing.

In a release, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate in the development of the derivatives markets in China and Singapore. The agreement was signed in Beijing, China, between Mr Rong Zhiping, Deputy CEO of CFFEX and Mr Magnus Böcker, CEO of SGX.

Under the MOU, both exchanges will jointly explore possible areas of cooperation including product and market development, information sharing and human resources training. With the agreement, both exchanges will also consider synergies to better address the demands and needs of market participants in China and Singapore.

“Our strategic goal is to establish a world class exchange, so it is necessary to draw from the overseas markets and cooperate closely with our international peers. CFFEX values the friendship with SGX and expects to promote the cooperation in common interests”, said Mr Rong Zhiping, Deputy CEO of CFFEX.

“We consistently pursue new opportunities to enhance our unique offering of Asian derivatives to satisfy the diverse needs of our global customers. This MOU marks a significant milestone for SGX and reinforces our commitment to the China market. We look forward to sharing insights and expertise with CFFEX to further develop both our markets,” said Mr Magnus Böcker, CEO of SGX.

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.
