The pay hike is driven by increases to cash bonuses and long-term incentives that he received for the financial year
[SINGAPORE] Singapore Exchange (SGX) chief executive officer Loh Boon Chye got a 3.3 per cent pay boost for the latest financial year, the bourse operator’s 2025 annual report released on Monday (Sep 15) showed.
This comes after the SGX posted record high FY2025 revenue and earnings in August.
Loh received S$7.82 million in total gross remuneration for the financial year ended Jun 30, 2025, up from S$7.57 million in the previous corresponding period, the report indicated.
The pay hike was driven by increases to cash bonuses and long-term incentives that Loh received for the financial year. These two segments form the bulk of his total gross remuneration, amounting to more than 80 per cent.
The CEO received a S$3.27 million cash bonus for FY2025, which made up around 41.8 per cent of his total pay. This was up from the S$3.15 million cash bonus he received for FY2024 by around S$114,149 or 3.6 per cent.
Loh was paid S$3.27 million in long-term incentives, S$166,050 or 3.7 per cent higher than the S$3.15 million he received previously.
