According to reports, as the gap between the performance of the Singapore stock market and other stock markets in the region is getting wider, the country is considering suggestions to inject vitality into the stock market. People familiar with the matter said that SGX, Singapore's government agencies — the Singapore Economic Development Council, and the HKMA are evaluating suggestions from the Singapore Venture Capital and Private Capital Association (SVCA) to boost the local stock market. The Association's members include international companies such as Singapore Government Investment Corporation (GIC), Temasek, and Pan Atlantic Investments. According to reports, the proposal from SVCA suggests investing pension funds, sovereign funds, and more private capital in the local stock market. In response, the Monetary Authority of Singapore stated, “The relevant suggestions have been received and are being evaluated.” (British Financial Times)
