Knowledge & Insights

On 11 January 2018, the Singapore Exchange ("SGX") announced its review of the mandatory quarterly reporting ("QR") framework. This move represents the latest development in a series of reviews in Singapore since the 2003 introduction of mandatory QR in Singapore and is set against the backdrop of a global move to abolish or refine the requirements of QR in other markets.

The key issue under review is whether QR should be retained or removed entirely. If retained, SGX has also set out several proposals on how the framework can be adjusted to balance stakeholders’ concerns.

SGX has requested public feedback on its proposals by 9 February 2018, and changes, if any, are expected to be implemented in the second half of 2018.

This Update sets out the key points raised in SGX’s consultation paper.
