MAS extends $80b swap agreement with US Fed

Its USD Facility will also be extended to end-September 2021.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has extended its $80b (US$60b) swap arrangement with the US Federal Reserve through 30 September 2021, a statement read.

The MAS USD Facility will also be extended to 30 September 2021.

Since launching in March, the facility has provided about $30.5b (US$23b) to banks, for use in Singapore and the region. The extension of the MAS USD Facility will continue to promote stability in USD funding conditions and anchor market confidence, the regulator said.

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.
