Yesterday, Singapore and China held their 20th Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) meeting – the highest-level annual forum between the two countries. It was co-chaired by Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Mr Gan Kim Yong and the People’s Republic of China’s Vice Premier of the State Council Mr Ding Xuexiang. We’re excited to see Singapore-China collaborations in the financial markets grow from strength to strength, with new green finance and capital markets initiatives to enhance financial cooperation with the world’s second-largest economy.   Two key highlights include:   1️⃣ Enhancing collaboration in indices and ETF Product Links: Building on the strong investor interest and progress in the ETF Product Links between SGX Group and Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) are in discussions to expand the suite of products. Additionally, SGX Group and China Securities Index are in discussions to develop a new index following the successful launch of the Emerging Asia Technology Index in January 2024. These efforts aim to enrich the regional capital markets ecosystem with innovative ETF products and indices to meet the evolving needs of investors.   2️⃣ Facilitating access to Chinese markets: Singapore and China are committed to facilitating the growing interest of financial institutions in expanding their presence in each other’s markets. Two areas of collaboration include (i) the listing of Panda Bonds in Singapore to foster greater interest and participation by international investors and issuers in the Panda Bond market, and (ii) welcoming the listing of eligible Chinese companies interested to expand their business operations in Southeast Asia on SGX, in line with CSRC’s policy of supporting eligible onshore companies to access international capital markets for growth.   We look forward to the continued strengthening of our financial ties with China, driving innovation, and opening new opportunities to foster deeper integration between our financial markets.   #SGXSecurities #SGXFixedIncome #ETF #Bond #FixedIncome #Singapore #China
