MAS expands steering committee's role in SIBOR shift

It will provide strategic direction and oversee the implementation.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has announced the expansion of the steering committee for SOR transition to SORA’s mandate to enable it to oversee the interest rate benchmark transition, a statement read.

The committee will be renamed as the Steering Committee for SOR & SIBOR Transition to SORA (SC-STS). In its expanded role, the SC-STS will also provide strategic direction on the transition, and oversee its smooth implementation.

In July, the Association of Banks in Singapore, the Singapore Foreign Exchange Market Committee, and the SC-STS published its recommendations to discontinue SIBOR shift to SORA as the main interest rate benchmark for SGD financial markets.

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.
