SGX Group (Singapore Exchange) and Nasdaq, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) today announced a partnership to simplify dual listings in the United States and Singapore, enabling companies with a market capitalisation of S$2 billion and above to access global capital, investors and liquidity through a harmonised cross-border listing framework that bridges the two markets.

Scheduled to go live around mid-2026, this Global Listing Board deepens collaboration between both markets, fostering a transparent and efficient environment for global capital formation. Companies will find it easier to pursue a dual listing on both Nasdaq and SGX, while reducing friction, complexity and cost.

A key feature is the streamlining of regulatory obligations and fundraising across the Pacific Ocean, through a single set of documents and simplified review process.

Loh Boon Chye, Chief Executive Officer, SGX Group, said:

“The whole-of-ecosystem support has been a key driver in turning this vision into reality. For issuers, the proposition is clear: access to U.S. market depth and Asian growth in a streamlined pathway. We hope to attract quality growth-oriented companies with an Asian nexus seeking to expand their investor base, while staying true to their roots, without having to navigate the complexity of dual regulatory regimes.”

Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq, Inc., said:

“Nasdaq and SGX Group have a long-standing partnership rooted in our shared belief in the power of markets to drive economic growth, build ecosystem of capital and create long-term value. In a world of increasing complexity and sometimes fragmenting markets, this initiative demonstrates that cooperation, smart regulation, and shared standards can create opportunity at scale that benefits both global and regional economies.”
