Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1E65: How the Value Unlock push will lift the market
Q: Why did Singapore choose a grant-based approach rather than following the more stick-heavy paths seen in Japan and Korea?
Singapore opted for a carrot-based, grant-driven approach to encourage participation and to allow companies to see a concrete plan for growth and shareholder value, while regulators reserve a potential stick if momentum falters. This staged approach is intended to be more inclusive and to foster a long-term transformation mindset.
S1E65: How the Value Unlock push will lift the market
Q: Do you foresee refinements to the program as we go along, especially if certain companies continue to trade at low value?
Yes, refinements are possible. The program can be calibrated and retuned as needed, and regulators' stick can be used strategically, but the emphasis remains on keeping SGX and MAS as partners in a carrot-and-stick approach rather than abandoning support early on.
S1E1: How Asia’s born-global SMEs are scaling through volatility
Q: If you could offer one piece of advice for an SME planning to expand globally, what would that be?
Be educated about the options and look at centralized platforms like Payoneer that can help with incorporation and accessing necessary tools.
S1E1: How Asia’s born-global SMEs are scaling through volatility
Q: What are some of the key challenges that these SMEs face when it comes to expanding across the region?
SMEs face challenges related to infrastructure, payments systems, logistics, taxation, and developing banking relationships.
S1E258: Passive paycheck: Structuring your SME for predictable dividends
Q: What should SME owners prioritize for financial security and extraction from their business?
SME owners should prioritize a succession plan alongside a clear extraction policy to ensure business continuity and financial stability.
