For years, Singapore's stock market was quietly dying. Now it is building a bridge to Nasdaq.
Opinion — the views expressed are the author's own.
The money kept flooding in. The listing venue sat empty. Singapore is closing that last gap.
Across 2024 and 2025, the Singapore Exchange watched companies delist and new listings dry up.
Then came the counterattack. In November 2025, SGX announced a bridge for dual listings with Nasdaq. It is building a new Global Listing Board and rewriting its listing rules.
The reason is clear. The last piece of a wealth hub is its capital market. If the money is there but the exchange is weak, that money lists somewhere else.
For Singapore to become the final stop for capital, it needs a market too. Right now, it is building the bridge.
