Wavelength Podcast Episode 123: An Examination of the SGX-NSE Row; Esma Targets Reporting Platforms

Wei-Shen Wong joins to discuss the brewing battle between the SGX and NSE and Anthony and James look at Esma's shot at reporting platforms.

On the podcast, Wei-Shen Wong, Waters’ Asia editor, joins to discuss the dispute unfolding between the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE) over index licensing.

Before that, though, Anthony and James look at how the European Securities and Markets Authority (Esma) has come down on reporting platforms, saying that the data they make available to the public is often not exactly in line with what the regulator wanted when it rewrote Europe’s trading rulebook.
