MAS posts $19.7b net profit in FY2024/25

This was driven by strong investment gains of $31.4b.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) reported a net profit of $19.7b for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.

This was driven by strong investment gains of $31.4b, partially offset by a negative currency translation effect of $3.4b and net costs of $8.3b from money market operations and other expenses.

MAS Managing Director Chia Der Jiun, speaking at the MAS Annual Report 2024/2025 Media Conference, said global markets performed well over the year, with healthy returns across all asset classes in both developed and emerging markets.

He noted that investment returns are subject to year-to-year volatility, but MAS recorded an average annual investment gain of $14.8b over the past decade.

The $3.4b currency translation loss was mainly due to the strengthening of the Singapore Dollar against the US Dollar.

Chia said that such translation effects are accounting in nature and do not affect MAS’s ability to conduct monetary policy or ensure financial stability.

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.
