Temasek is aware of calls to revive the Singapore Exchange (SGX:S68)  (SGX), but Temasek International’s head of financial services Connie Chan says their mandate is to generate long-term, sustainable returns, and not to stimulate trading on the local bourse.

“The question around SGX — I think there’s a lot of news around that recently,” says Chan on July 9 in response to questions from The Edge Singapore. “What we want to emphasise is: Our mandate is to generate long-term sustainable returns; that’s the key primary focus for us.”

Speaking at the release of Temasek’s results for FY2024 ended March 31, Chan says where a portfolio company decides to list is a “multi-factor decision”. “There are going to be pros and cons, depending on which venue, but ultimately, it’s up to the companies themselves to decide.”
