SGX teams up with China Construction Bank to attract more Chinese listings

Both direct and secondary listings are on target.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China Construction Bank (CCB) to promote domestic capital markets to Chinese companies.

Under the MOU, SGX and CCB will collaborate to bring Chinese companies to list in Singapore, especially through SGX’s Direct Listing Framework.

CCB is among the issue managers accredited by SGX to assist companies in raising capital on the exchange. As part of the MOU, it will also advise its SGX-listed clients looking to tap the secondary market for further fund-raising.

The MOU will also encourage Chinese companies to issue offshore Renminbi bonds , undertake mergers & acquisitions, establish cross-border asset management services and other capital market activities in Singapore. In addition, CCB will explore derivatives trading, bond trading and other business activities in Singapore.

There are currently 120 Chinese companies and 103 RMB bonds listed on

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.
