Singapore and China launches taskforce for green finance

The collaboration will be co-chaired by Gillian Tan and Dr. Ma Jun.

The People's Bank of China (PBC) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) have declared the formation of the China-Singapore Green Finance Taskforce (GFTF).

Its purpose is to strengthen the collaboration between both countries in the field of green and transition finance.

The GFTF will be co-headed by Assistant Managing Director (Development and International) and Chief Sustainability Officer of MAS, Gillian Tan, and the Chair of the China Green Finance Committee, Dr. Ma Jun.

The taskforce members will consist of senior representatives and sustainable finance professionals from institutions and green fintech firms from China and Singapore.

The GFTF aims to enhance the public-private sector partnership and fulfil the needs of Asia as it shifts towards a sustainable future with low carbon emissions.

In the launch meeting held last week, the GFTF collaborated on future initiatives ramping up green and transition financing flows between China, Singapore and the rest of Asia.

Three primary workstreams which will be focused on are: taxonomies and definitions; products and instruments; and technology.

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.
