Ravi Menon reappointed as managing director of MAS

Senior Advisor Goh Chok Tong is stepping down from his position.

Contrary to earlier rumors, Ravi Menon is being reappointed as managing director of Singapore’s central bank for a two-year term at least.

“Mr. Menon will serve as Managing Director until 31 May 2025 or his retirement from the Singapore Public Service, whichever is earlier,” the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in a statement.

Media reports from earlier in April speculated that Menon was poised to step down from his position, even naming Chia Der Jiun as his possible successor as chief of Singapore's central bank.

Lucien Wong, attorney general; and Chaly Mah, chairman of NetLink NBN Management, have been reappointed to the MAS board for three more years, until 31 May 2026.

Mah has also been reappointed as chairman of the audit committee for the same duration, MAS said.

Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, meanwhile, will be stepping down from his position as senior advisor to MAS on 21 May.

Goh, who has served as senior advisor since May 2011, previously served as chairman of the MAS board from 20 August 2004.

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.
