On 19 November 2025, the Equities Market Review Group announced its final set of measures to strengthen the competitiveness of Singapore’s equities market, which included a proposed partnership between the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Nasdaq to simplify and streamline dual listings in Singapore and the US by way of a dual listing bridge connecting both exchanges. On the same day, SGX announced it will launch a new board (Global Listing Board) for issuers who wish to list in Singapore under the dual listing bridge.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) had on 9 January 2026, issued its consultation paper on its proposed amendments to the Securities and Futures Act 2001 and draft regulations to facilitate dual listings on the Global Listing Board. On the same day, SGX Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) also issued its consultation paper on its proposed listing rules for the Global Listing Board.
In this update, our Head of Equity Capital Markets Gail Ong and Partners Karen Yeoh, James Choo and Ong Kuan Chung, summarise the key amendments proposed by the MAS, and the key listing rules for the Global Listing Board proposed by SGX RegCo.
