Taiwan Stock Exchange and Singapore Exchange announced the establishment of a strategic partnership, where a subsidiary of TWSE, Global Link Securities Co. Ltd, will join SGX as a remote trading member, a significant first step towards wider partnership between the two exchanges. The agreement will allow TWSE member brokers to directly trade SGX-listed securities, thus making such international trades more efficient and cost effective for Taiwan investors.

Trading of Singapore listed securities through Global Link is expected to go live in second quarter of 2016. To allow Taiwan investors, both institutional and retail, explore and better appreciate the long-term investability and investment opportunities in Singapore's equities market, SGX and TWSE will jointly launch a series of market education and awareness programmes in Taiwan.
