Beyond SG60: Propelling Singapore Forward As A Trusted Financial Hub

Beyond SG60
Businesses today are facing new challenges brought about by geopolitical tensions and deteriorating trade relations. Climate change, shifting social norms and technological advancements add to emerging risks. Regionally, governments are taking steps to enhance their positioning, with some like Japan and Korea embarking on ambitious corporate governance reforms. The Singapore government announced a budget that aims to comprehensively uplift Singapore and Singaporeans, including a number of measures recommended by the MAS Review Group to inject vibrancy into Singapore’s equities market. As the nation commemorates SG60, what lies ahead for Singapore? Will it come up tops as a trusted financial hub?

This event is jointly organised by CFA Society Singapore, SFDA and SID exclusively for members of any of the three organisations.
