Singapore, China form Green Finance Taskforce

They will focus on taxonomies and definitions, products and instruments, and technology.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the People’s Bank of China (PBC) unveiled the establishment of the China-Singapore Green Finance Taskforce (GFTF) to reinforce bilateral cooperation in green and transition finance.

In a statement, MAS said the partnership also aims to facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors for the transition to a low-carbon future.

The GFTF fill focus on three priority areas namely taxonomies and definitions, products and instruments, and technology.

For taxonomies and definitions, the banks will collaborate under the International Platform on Sustainable Finance (IPSF) to achieve interoperability between the Singapore and China taxonomies and will enhance the use of the IPSF’s Common Ground Taxonomy. They also plan to deepen their understanding of transition activities.

Singapore Exchange and China International Capital Corporation will also establish a workstream to reinforce a sustainability bond market connectivity between the two markets which include the issuances of and mutual access to green and transition bond products.

To focus on technology, the Metaverse Green Exchange and Beijing Green Exchange will set up a workstream that will rely on technology to facilitate sustainable finance adoption, including the piloting of digital green bonds with carbon credits.

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.
