As Asia's most international bond listing venue, we are committed to working with our ecosystem partners to develop a vibrant Insurance Linked Securities (ILS) market in Singapore and to increase investor awareness of this attractive asset class. Kudos to Amundi for spearheading the ILS roundtable last week! Asia has a sizeable protection gap; it will take significant reinsurance capacity to insure Asia against natural catastrophe exposures, and we believe ILS and debt capital markets can play an important role in bridging the gap. We look forward to continuing to work with like-minded partners to grow the ILS ecosystem in Singapore and to realise Singapore's ambition to be the leading ILS hub in Asia.

In March 2024, most of the Asian indices closed in green territory. In Japan, it was a month full of events. The SGX Nikkei Index Futures saw more positions rolled over in the Mar - Jun 2024 contracts, ahead of the Bank of Japan (BOJ)'s Monetary Policy Meeting (MPM). The meeting marked the beginning of a new rates regime. The Nikkei Stock Average Dividend Index 2023 hit a record high of 644.4 for the 3rd consecutive year and is projected to trend upwards until 2027. Investors can consider utilising the SGX Nikkei Total Return Futures and SGX Nikkei Dividend Futures to manage dividend risks.

In India, activity also surged in GIFT Nifty derivatives, with a 15% month-over-month increase. SGX India Single Stock Futures recorded a record Daily Average Volume (DAV) of US$308m and OI of US$978m in March 2024.
