MAS pilots upgraded RMB funding facility

It will discontinue the current RMB liquidity facility on 23 November.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has floated a new initiative to provide up to RMB25b ($5.11b) of funding to the banking segment, a statement read.

With this launch, the central bank will discontinue the current RMB5b ($1.05b) Overnight RMB Liquidity Facility starting 23 November.

Under the new initiative, the RMB funding of up to three months will be channelled to the Primary Dealers (PDs) through MAS’ money market operations. The funds provided to the PDs will enhance their credit intermediation capabilities and the overall RMB market liquidity in Singapore.

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.
