On June 24, 2026, Singapore's Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) published an amendment to the Securities and Futures (Recognised Securities Exchange) Order 2018 in the Subsidiary Legislation Supplement. The amendment, which comes into operation on June 26, 2026, adds two Chinese securities exchanges to the schedule of recognised securities exchanges under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (SFA). The amendment inserts two new items into the Schedule of the Securities and Futures (Recognised Securities Exchange) Order 2018: the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. These additions expand the list of recognised securities exchanges that market participants in Singapore may conduct business with under the SFA framework. Recognition as a securities exchange under the SFA permits these exchanges to operate in Singapore's securities market and facilitates cross-border securities trading activities between Singapore and these Chinese exchanges. The amendment reflects Singapore's continued efforts to integrate with regional financial markets and enhance market access for investors and intermediaries. By recognising these two major Chinese exchanges, MAS enables Singapore-based financial institutions and investors to engage more directly with Chinese securities markets while maintaining regulatory oversight and compliance standards. The amendment was made by Chia Der Jiun, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, on June 21, 2026. The order is effective immediately upon publication and applies to all market participants conducting securities trading activities involving the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
