Loh Boon Chye further stated, "In terms of the domestic market, Singapore’s stock trading activity remained vibrant thanks to the forward-looking initiatives introduced by the Equities Market Review Group. The Securities Daily Average Volume (SDAV) grew by 20% year-on-year, reaching 1.51 billion Singapore dollars—the highest level in nearly five years. At the same time, the pipeline of potential and pending IPOs continues to expand, and retail participation has reached a four-year high.
