Market View: SGX-Nasdaq Dual Listing Bridge Set for Mid-2026 Launch

Singapore’s capital markets could be entering a new phase. Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, this episode examines the planned SGX-Nasdaq dual-listing bridge expected to launch by mid-2026, allowing eligible companies to access both Singapore and US investors through a streamlined listing process.

The discussion also looks at the role of the Equity Market Development Programme and whether Singapore is taking a more active approach to supporting IPO activity and market depth.
