Credit regulator, NGO launch joint debt relief scheme

It is available to those owing money to banks and licensed moneylenders.

The Credit Association of Singapore (CAS) and Credit Counselling Singapore (CCS) have jointly developed a debt relief plan for distressed borrowers, according to a news release.

The Moneylenders Debt Management Programme (MDMP) is a monthly installment debt repayment plan for borrowers who owe money to banks and licensed moneylenders.

From April onwards, CCS is extending its debt restructuring service to individuals indebted to licensed moneylenders provided that the borrower also owes money to banks.

Those with debt owing only to licensed moneylenders can seek assistance from social service agencies, such as Adullam Life Counselling, AMP Singapore, Arise2Care, Blessed Grace Social Services, One Hope Centre and The Silver Lining.

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.
