SGX Group, UK gov’t programme partner to deploy public capital markets

It will mobilise public capital markets to support sustainable goals in Asia.

Singapore Exchange Group (SGX Group) tied up with the UK government's Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), in a bid to deploy public capital markets to support sustainable environmental, social and economic development in Asia. 

The flagship programme, Mobilising Institutional Capital Through Listed Product Structures (MOBILIST), provides funding and technical support to new issuers of securities aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across emerging and frontier markets. 

SGX Group CEO Loh Boon Chye said working with MOBILIST will help identify and fund new sustainable investment opportunities.

“As Asia’s most international exchange and the leading venue for international and sustainable green bonds, SGX Group offers an ideal fundraising platform for companies to grow and scale. MOBILIST’s support will further mobilise capital from the deep and broad investor base in Asia who are increasingly seeking to invest responsibly with impact,” said Loh, in a statement.
