In recent times, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) have become the topic of discussion in global capital markets as a way for companies to access public funds in a volatile market. On 31 March 2021, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) released a consultation paper to seek feedback from the public on the SGX’s proposal to introduce a primary listing framework for SPACs in Singapore to list on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The consultation paper may be obtained from the SGX’s website: https://tinyurl.com/5r9kmsmd.
