Gov’t establishes new sustainable finance body

The association will improve standards, solutions, and skills in the finance sector.

The government introduced the Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA), a new organisation aimed at developing new standards, solutions, and skills to bolster sustainable finance.

To improve standards, SSFA can lead in developing industry practices in carbon credits trading and transition finance.

For solutions, SSFA can bring together financial institutions and industry sectors to identify approaches addressing barriers in scaling the financing needed. SSFA can combine financing solutions from different asset classes to improve the bankability of projects.

In addition, SSFA can contribute to upskilling and capacity building initiatives through sustainable finance training courses including carbon markets, taxonomy application and blended finance.

Singapore is amongst the leading sustainable finance centres facilitating net zero transition across Asia and beyond. In 2022, Singapore recorded over $30b worth of sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds and loans.

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.
