Overview of Asian Corporate Reforms and Their Impact
The latest report from CGS delves into the transformative corporate governance strategies sweeping across Asia, inspired by Japan’s decade-long reform initiatives. These reforms aim to enhance shareholder returns, corporate governance, and market valuations. Key players such as South Korea, China, and India are implementing their own strategies to mimic Japan’s success, with a focus on increasing dividends, boosting shareholder returns, and improving corporate transparency. These reforms provide a buffer against potential economic slowdowns due to adversarial trade policies, notably those from the Trump administration. As a result, Asian markets are experiencing a positive shift with increased investor confidence and market growth.
Singapore Market Strategy
The MSCI Singapore Free Index (SIMSCI) closed November 2024 at 370.94 points, marking a 9% month-on-month increase.

Despite this, CGS maintains its end-of-year target for SIMSCI at 351.2 points, pegged at a 13.5x Price/Earnings ratio. The banking sector also shows promise with improved loan growth noted in October 2024.
