MAS and China's PBC establish bilateral currency swap

Arrangement will provide worth S$30bln liquidity in both Chinese Yuan and Singapore dollar.

The People’s Bank of China (PBC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced the establishment of a bilateral currency swap arrangement for the purpose of promoting bilateral trade and direct investment for economic development of the two countries. The announcement was made at the 7th Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) Meeting between China and Singapore held in Beijing, according to an MAS report.

The bilateral currency swap arrangement is a key pillar of co-operation between the PBC and the MAS to strengthen regional economic resilience and financial stability. The bilateral currency swap arrangement will provide Chinese Yuan liquidity of up to CNY150 billion and Singapore dollar liquidity of up to S$30 billion. The effective period of the arrangement will be three years and can be extended by agreement between the two sides.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
