Summary
Singapore's stock market is smaller than Hong Kong's, but analysts suggest engaging more with investors and implementing "value up" programs like Japan and South Korea. Singapore's STI has outperformed HSI, but faces challenges like thin trading volumes and more delistings than listings. Suggestions to boost the market include improving investor engagement, providing better guidance to investors, and restructuring capital structures. Calls to revive the Singapore stock market are not new, with previous appeals to the government for urgent measures.
