(Bloomberg) -- Singapore Exchange Ltd. is exploring mergers and acquisitions to drive its ambitions as a multi-asset exchange.The bourse has operations in place across asset classes and now will concentrate on bolstering them, Chief Executive Officer Loh Boon Chye said in an interview on Wednesday.

SGX had previously set a goal to have the fixed income, currencies and commodities segment, along with data, connectivity and indices, double revenues by about 2025. It may reach that goal before the initial target date, he said, adding the segments combined could account for 50% of revenue by then.“We are not stopping our M&A focus,” Loh said. “We have said we will bulk up and given that we are now a multi-asset exchange, one of the ways is to also scale up further. We will look at acquisitions.”The bourse is hardly a newcomer on the M&A front. Since the beginning of 2020 alone, it has entered a flurry of deals to boost its non-equity businesses, most recently announcing joint ventures to spin off its bond trading platform and provide digital-asset infrastructure.

First Europe, Then Japan, Now Australia Hit By Unprecedented Full-Day Trading Halt Due To "Software Glitch" Tyler Durden Mon, 11/16/2020 - 08:22 First, it was a "technical issue" in Europe which back on July 1 caused European stock markets to suffer a 3 hour outage. Then, in August, New Zealand’s stock market was forced to halt trading over four days in August after distributed-denial-of-service attacks overwhelmed its website. Then on October 1, another "technical issue" hit the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which resulted in an unprecedented all-day trading halt. And just a few weeks later, in late October, trading in all stocks and derivatives on Euronext NV markets was shut down for three hours affecting activity in countries including France and Belgium. The problem was traced to due to a software issue. Now, about a month later, the "glitching" rolling market blackout struck again, this time in Australia whose stock exchange opened for less than half an hour before a software issue forced it to close for the rest of Monday’s session, just as the country rolled out an "updated" trading system.

A software problem forced Australia's stock exchange to halt trading 20 minutes after opening on Monday and it plans to reopen on Tuesday, the bourse operator ASX Ltd said.
