Hosting a regional exchange is one idea but critics say focus should be on improving corporate governance

Singapore is studying proposals to shake up its struggling stock market as the gap between the financial hub’s performance and other regional exchanges widens. Singapore Exchange is reviewing a document from the nation’s venture and private capital association, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

The exchange was one of the quietest globally last year in terms of deals and funds raised, at seven and $300mn respectively, according to PwC research. Its poor performance has become starker with regional exchanges preparing for an initial public offering revival as global macroeconomic conditions improve. The Indonesian stock exchange was among the top five exchanges globally by total number of IPOs in 2023.
