Singapore and the UK have deepened their collaboration in sustainable finance, fintech, non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI), and cross-border payment connectivity.

On sustainable finance, the countries committed to bolstering financing for net zero agenda.

The parties also plan to implement international standards on sustainability-related disclosures.

They also revealed plans to develop and finance green finance and energy transition projects in Asia.

On fintech, both countries discussed financial stability risks, cybersecurity risks, AI supervision in finance, and initiatives in tokenisation and distributed ledger technology (DLT).

In addition, both countries are committed to the G20's Roadmap for Enhancing Cross-Border Payments. They are also looking to finalise international policies on margining practices and NBFI leverage, to implement these policies domestically, and to address NBFI vulnerabilities.

Sustainability

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.
