On Jan, 23 2026, Singapore Exchange Regulation Pte. Ltd. launched a public consultation on plans to cut standard board lot sizes for higher-priced instruments traded on the Singapore Exchange.

Under the proposal, the lot size would fall from 100 units to 10 units for securities priced above 10 Singapore dollars and up to 100 Singapore dollars, and from 100 units to 1 unit for securities priced above 100 Singapore dollars.

SGX RegCo said the change would reduce the minimum outlay for investors, making higher-priced shares more affordable and potentially widening market participation.

The regulator is also seeking feedback on removing the rule that aligns minimum bid sizes for securities and futures denominated in Hong Kong dollar, Renminbi or Japanese yen with those in their home markets.

SGX RegCo will accept comments until Feb, 13 2026. If endorsed, the new measures are expected to take effect in mid-2026.
