These developments may reshape how sustainability factors are assessed and priced in Singapore‘s equity market.
A shift is underway in Singapore’s equity market that could redefine how investors value companies and allocate capital. Launched in February, the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP) aims to channel investment toward the small- and mid-cap (SMID) segment, which has historically faced challenges with liquidity, coverage and visibility.
At the same time, Singapore plans to adopt disclosure rules aligned with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), to be mandated for all listed issuers by 2030, promoting consistent and comparable sustainability reporting across the market.
