The other members include local and international members of the SGX's securities market, representatives from the investment community, independent experts and software vendors.

It will review and give recommendations in such areas as back-up systems, processes and protocols in the light of disruptions.

It will also look at communication and maintenance issues and ways to familiarise and test the readiness of the SGX and its market participants to respond to market disruptions.
