In a statement, the Ministry of Trade and Industry said the collaboration under the MOU will include the identification of mutually beneficial projects and the exchange of best practices related to carbon services and trading ecosystem development.

The two markets will also look into collaborating in carbon markets with third countries.

Singapore and Chile will work on a legally binding implementation deal that outlines a bilateral framework for the international transfer of correspondingly adjusted carbon credits.

When completed, carbon tax-liable firms in Singapore can purchase carbon credits from eligible projects to offset up to 5% of their taxable emissions.

The MOU was signed by Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary (Development) Beh Swan Gin, and Secretary General of Foreign Policy of Chile’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Alex Wetzig.

The country has also signed the same MOU or Letter of Intent with various markets including Bhutan, Cambodia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Mongolia, Morocco, Papua New Guinea, Peru and Vietnam.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
