$SGX (S68.SG)$
Singapore is exploring a series of proposals for an active stock market, including expanding the stock scope of the Straits Index beyond large cap stocks, as well as reducing the listing costs and regulatory burdens for companies.
Transport Minister and Second Minister for Finance Xu Fangda revealed on Monday (September 16) in his opening speech at the Corporate Governance Week organized by the Singapore Investors' Association (SIAS) that since the Securities Market Review Committee received numerous suggestions from the industry and the public, the committee has been exploring the feasibility of these suggestions.
Xu Fangda divides these suggestions into three major areas: first, to encourage the construction of reserves for high-quality listed projects; second, to enhance investor participation and expand market liquidity; and third, to reassess the government's regulatory structure and methods.
Xu Fangda mentioned in his speech that the liquidity of the Singapore stock market is mainly concentrated in a few well-known stocks, and 85% of the daily trading volume of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) comes from the 30 large-cap stocks that make up the Straits Times Index.
He pointed out that in order to improve liquidity, industry professionals have proposed measures that may promote wider investor participation, including expanding the scope of stock indices and increasing the variety of stock market derivatives.

If the market value of a new stock on the first day of its listing ranks in the top ten of the existing constituent stocks, it will be included in the index after the close of trading on the tenth trading day after the new stock is listed.
The purpose of the mechanism is to better reflect market changes, but the reality is quite harsh.
At present, the stock market is already in a situation where primary market investors are hyped and secondary market investors are naive.
Hot new stock valuations are often full of bubbles. Moreover, as Hong Kong stocks gradually become more like A-shares, and with new stocks claiming scarcity to attract a large number of retail investors, the bubble becomes even larger, making the Hang Seng Tech Index a huge victim.
Since its release, the Hang Seng Tech Index has experienced four rapid inclusions, namely JD Health, Kuaishou, Baidu, and Bilibili.
The key point of rapid inclusion is that the market value is large, so when a company is included, its proportion will not be insignificant, and any significant fluctuations in the index will have a noticeable impact.
Since the inclusion of individual stocks, the drop has exceeded 20%, with JD Health dropping by 56%, and its market value falling from 580 billion to 260 billion.
