Singapore authorities support protection of financial system stability

The discussion tackles measures which are said to include both macro supervision and micro measures to handle the anticipated increase in flows of capital into the region.

According to OCBC, BI Deputy Governor Halim Alamsyah said on Frday that authorities from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippnes have agreed to discuss over possible coordinated measures to tackle the threat of capital inflows.

As expressed in the recent G-20 meeting, and also supported by recent comments by IMF and the World bank, the possibility of more stringent (albeit temporary) capital controls are now thought to be beneficial to protect the financial system stability of a country or a region in this case.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
