SGX Makes Value-Creation Disclosures Mandatory From 2027

Singapore’s exchange regulator will require more detailed pay, dividend and investor-relations disclosures from 2027, with the first compliant annual reports expected in 2028.

Singapore, 23 September 2026 – Singapore’s market regulator has moved from consultation to implementation on a set of disclosure rules designed to make listed companies explain how management pay, dividend decisions and shareholder engagement support long-term value.
