“Setting The Standard: Leadership And Value Creation In Singapore’s Listed Companies” - Address By Mr Chee Hong Tat, Minister For National Development, And Deputy Chairman Of The Monetary Authority Of Singapore, At The Singapore Institute Of Directors’ Launch Of The SID Chairpersons Guild On 16 January 2026

Date 16/01/2026

Good morning. I am happy to join you here today at the launch of SID’s Chairpersons Guild. I last struck the gong over a week ago, on 5 January, to mark the 60th anniversary of the Straits Times Index (STI). The following day, the STI crossed 4,700 points for the first time. Since then, it has edged even higher. I hope that this encouraging start bodes well for the year ahead, but we know markets will have its ups and downs. Our focus must therefore remain on strengthening the fundamentals, competitiveness and capabilities of our capital markets ecosystem, so that it will remain resilient and attractive over the long term. That was the approach we took for the equities market review.
