MAS, Brunei central bank ink MOU to deepen financial industry cooperation

MAS managing director Ravi Menon said that they had “a good exchange of views.”

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to deepen cooperation in banking and insurance supervisors.

BDCB managing director Rokiah Bakar and MAS managing director Ravi Menon inked the MOU, which is expected to facilitate the effective supervision of banks and insurers operating across the two jurisdictions, including through information exchange and cross border on-site inspections.

BDCB and MAS also exchanged views on recent economic and financial developments;
cooperation in sustainable finance to accelerate climate change mitigation and adaptation in
ASEAN; as well as developments in Central Bank Digital Currencies and cross-border payments, according to a joint press release.

“We had a good exchange of views, further strengthening the very good relations between MAS and BDCB,” said Menon on the roundtable.

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.
