[Webinar] Singapore SPACs and Market Outlook

New Seminar

Overview

Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) were introduced as a new asset class on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) this year.

He will also discuss the outlook for the Singapore market against the backdrop of rising geopolitical risks and higher interest rates in the United States.
