“We have been working with NYSE for a long period of time in a similar way that we do with other exchanges globally,” says SGX’s head of global sales and origination, Pol de Win, in an interview with The Edge Singapore. “We thought it would make sense to formalise [the partnership], given the opportunities that we see ahead,” adds de Win.
With the small domestic economy limiting the number of significant new listings, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) is angling to join hands with more overseas bourses, and tap and expand the pie together.
On July 22, SGX’s CEO Loh Boon Chye signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Lynn Martin, president of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), to collaborate on dual listings of companies on both exchanges and to create new investment products together.
