Total securities trading value rose by 12% last month.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) continued its upward momentum in May, according to the latest report from RHB, with total securities trading value rising by 12% month-on-month to $30b.

Securities average daily value grew by 24% month-on-month, while total contracts traded increased to $18m or 3% month-on-month.

Multiple news reports also indicate that US-listed tech companies are planning secondary listings in SGX, whilst SEA, Razer and Grab are already exploring such options.

RHB called the SGX a regional Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) leader, citing SGX’s pioneering of ESG derivatives early this year and recent launch of ESG REIT derivatives.

It expects its earnings for the next two financial years to grow by 6% and 3%.

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.
