flag Singapore eases listing rules for Chinese firms, boosts financial ties with China and Nasdaq.

flag Singapore is easing secondary listing rules for Chinese firms from Shenzhen and Shanghai, backed by China’s securities regulator, to boost financial ties. flag The move streamlines prospectus requirements, while DBS Bank becomes Singapore’s second yuan clearing bank and launches a bond market link with Bank of China. flag Both nations plan expanded ETF and index collaboration. flag These steps follow a S$5 billion liquidity fund for small and mid-cap stocks, helping lift Singapore’s benchmark index over 20% year to date. flag A separate initiative with Nasdaq aims to create a shared listing framework for East Asian companies by mid-2026, potentially reducing costs and improving access to U.S. and regional markets, though final rules and compliance challenges remain.
