It paves the way for sharing of information between the two central banks to strengthen the supervision of cross-border operations of financial institutions under their regulation. The MOU will also facilitate staff training and technical assistance between CBB and MAS.

The MOU was signed by H.E. Rasheed M. Al Maraj, Governor of CBB and H.E. Heng Swee Keat, Managing Director of MAS.

H.E. Al Maraj said, “This MOU represents our ongoing commitment with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, we look forward to continue our relationship based on mutual efforts and cooperation for the benefit of both countries".

Mr Heng said that the MOU is an important milestone in the cooperation between both institutions and will work to deepen ties.

The agreement took place at the 16th World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) in Bahrain.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
