The Monetary Authority of Singapore delivered remarks at the opening of Nasdaq’s new Singapore office, welcoming Nasdaq’s expanded presence and framing the planned Global Listing Board as a “digital bridge” connecting Singapore and US equity markets through Nasdaq and Singapore Exchange. The speech positioned the Global Listing Board as a component of the Equities Market Review Group’s work to strengthen Singapore’s equity markets, alongside broader efforts to build a capital-raising ecosystem for startups and growth companies. It referenced a SGD 1 billion boost to the Startup SG Equity scheme, a SGD 1.5 billion injection into the Anchor Fund, and the establishment of a Growth Capital Workgroup led by Minister Chee Hong Tat, and noted Nasdaq’s more than 20-year presence in Singapore and longstanding ties with MAS.
