Singapore Rolls Out Tax Rebates, $3.7 Billion Program to Boost Stock Market
22-Feb-2025

Singapore announced on Friday a set of measures to rejuvenate its equities market, including a 20% tax rebate for primary listings and a S$5 billion ($3.74 billion) program that focuses on investing in domestic stocks. The statement offers more details on measures Singapore's equities market review group announced on February 13 to revive its stock market that has come under pressure from a dearth of mega listings and softer trading liquidity. "We aim to have these measures lay the foundations for a sustainable and well functioning equities market, and we think if we take the proposed measures together, they will hopefully make an impact," Singapore's second finance minister Chee Hong Tat said in a briefing on Friday.
