MAS, IFC, WEF ink MOU on digital financial inclusion

They will create guidelines for digital financial inclusion financing instruments.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and the World Economic Forum (the Forum) will collaborate on initiatives to advance digital inclusion through financial services.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) inked by the three parties, Financial institutions and fintech companies will help create guidelines for digital financial inclusion financing instruments.

IFC will drive the development of the guidelines covering digital financial inclusion products, assets, and mechanisms.

MAS, for its part, will explore synergies with its other initiatives to improve financing access for MSMEs in emerging markets.

Meanwhile, WEF will leverage its international network of government and private sector partners to promote and share these new solutions and learnings.

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.
