Money and Me: Is Singapore’s IPO Engine Roaring Back?


Listen Later

Is the so-called “sleepy” Singapore market waking up - or are we at the start of a full-blown IPO revival?

In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack Southeast Asia’s reopening equity capital markets with Art Karoonyavanich of DBS.

Trading volumes are up to S$1.65 billion a day in early 2026, and billion-dollar deals like UI Boustead REIT are landing smoothly despite tariff headlines.

We explore why CapitaLand India Trust and Lendlease REIT can raise fresh capital even amid global trade noise - and what that says about investor confidence.

Beyond property, we examine Ultragreen’s S$520m tech IPO and whether healthtech, AI and digital infrastructure are next in line.

Is Singapore simply benefiting from regional recovery — or positioning itself as Southeast Asia’s IPO hub for the next cycle?
