A cornerstone of the regime is to require listed issuers to make timely disclosure of all material information to the marketplace. SGX's regulatory team reviews listing applications to ensure that issuers meet the minimum requirements prescribed. In reviewing listing applications, SGX's regulatory team relies on due diligence carried out by issue managers and their representations to determine the applicant's suitability to list. Offering a full suite of derivatives products across Asian equity indices, commodities and currencies, SGX is the world's most liquid international market for the benchmark equity indices of China, India, Japan and ASEAN.
