Singapore Exchange (SGX) Securities has issued the procedure to enable transfers of suspended securities borrowed under either The Central Depository Pte Ltd’s (CDP) Securities Borrowing and Lending (SBL) program, or via other SBL arrangements operated by parties such as brokers.

To facilitate the return of these securities, Members and Depository Agents may request to transfer these suspended securities pursuant to the Mainboard and Catalist Rules 729, subject to Singapore Exchange Regulation’s (SGX RegCo) and CDP’s approval. 

We are pleased to add a recent paper addressing the most common misconceptions concerning securities lending to our ESG library.  

The RMA led paper offers some new perspectives to questions that are frequently put to market participants and will hopefully be a useful resource to those new to the securities lending market.

The full ESG library can be found here.
