The Incredible Shrinking Singapore Stock Market

Quote:The exchange’s fortunes have only gotten worse. For the last five years, delistings have outnumbered listings in the market, which had 741 companies at the end of December last year, down from a peak of 782 in 2010. In 2018 the money raised from the 15 SGX initial public offerings, excluding depositary receipts, fell to just S$710.6 million, while 19 companies departed—a net outflow of S$19.2 billion in market value.



I don't have a position in local bourse, but REITs and banks seem to be, still, the more attractive segments of the SG market, and will probably remain that way for the foreseeable future.
