The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has promised to report daily short sales volumes for every counter to be a leader in transparency by March.
"The tagging of short sell orders and disclosure of short-selling information will enable investors to make better-informed investment decisions," said SGX in a statement.
SGX first issued a public statement on short selling in August 2010, which was well received by market players, but analysts commenting at the time that short selling volumes were not high enough in the region to warrant regulation.
