[Singapore Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to Add S$1.5 Billion, Stock Market Injection Plan Linked to Hard Indicators] ⑴ The MAS is injecting an additional S$1.5 billion to boost stock market liquidity. Christopher Forbes of CMC Invest commented that the authority may further expand the funding for the plan if the outcome proves necessary. ⑵ He expects future funding batches to be linked to specific indicators, such as the ratio of third-party funds introduced through strategies deployed by fund managers selected under the plan. ⑶ The head of Asia and the Middle East also stated that increasing the diversity of potential IPOs and focusing funds specifically on mid-cap stocks may also become criteria for injecting new funds into the plan. ⑷ From a trading psychology perspective, linking to hard indicators helps boost market confidence, indicating that policy resources will be precisely targeted rather than indefinitely guaranteed, and in the medium to long term, this is expected to attract more incremental funds to focus on mid-cap stocks and IPO targets in the Singapore market. ⑸ The focus going forward is on the pace of subsequent funding batches under the plan and whether the selected fund managers can effectively leverage third-party capital to form a positive cycle.
