SMU Assistant Professor of Finance Aurobindo Ghosh noted that global best practices in sustainability reporting could boost funding for companies listed in Singapore. He warned that mandatory reporting might initially deter potential issuers from listing on the SGX. However, as more exchanges adopt these standards and investment sources shift towards them, this issue would lessen. Credible and sustainable reporting standards would ensure a more sustainable future for SGX listings, according to Asst Prof Ghosh.
