SG, UK deepen financial partnership

The parties agreed to collaborate on sustainable finance, amongst others.

Singapore and the United Kingdom agreed to cooperate on areas such as sustainable finance, FinTech and innovation in a bid to deepen their financial partnership.

During the parties’ Financial Dialogue, Singapore and the UK inked a Memorandum of Understanding on the UK-Singapore FinTech Bridge which seeks to “support continued growth, investment, and technological innovation in the sector, building on active interest of FinTech players in the areas of payments, RegTech and wealth management.”

The parties likewise discussed joint interests such as the need to mobilise capital to develop economies to finance the transition to net zero and a globally consistent framework for nature-based disclosures, the implementation of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) disclosure standards, and combat greenwashing.

On FinTech and innovation, the countries discussed risks and challenges relating to financial stability and regulatory arbitrage and shared their progress in strengthening rules on consumer protection and developing the regulation of stablecoins.

Both agreed on the need to support the safe development of a digital assets ecosystem while ensuring that risks posed by digital assets are consistently managed.

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.
