.SGX will stay open and accessible, despite closure of most workplaces in Singapore from next Tuesday
The move to keep the exchange open follows the affirmation by the Monetary Authority of Singapore that financial services are among the essential services exempted from the suspension of activities at workplace premises under the elevated safe distancing measures announced by the health ministry.
Mr Loh said SGX, supported by market participants such as brokerage firms, liquidity providers, market makers and data vendors, will ensure continued availability of the markets. CDP services will continue to be available and the majority of the services can be accessed without visiting the CDP Customer Service Centre.
From April 6, the CDP Customer Service Centre will assist with a limited number of services on an appointment-only basis. These services include share transfers, updating of signatures, estate account processing and deposit/withdrawal of share certificates. On Friday, the government announced more stringent measures on safe distancing to curb the spread of the virus.
