MAS sets up collateral arrangement with Bank of Thailand

Financial institutions in Singapore and Thailand will now have greater flexibility in their liquidity management.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Bank of Thailand signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish the reciprocal cross-border collateral arrangement.

A joint statement by MAS and BOT said the arrangement will help maintain financial stability in both countries.

Under the arrangement, eligible financial institutions operating in Singapore may obtain Singapore Dollar liquidity from MAS by pledging Thai Baht or Thai government and central bank securities with MAS.

Similarly, eligible financial institutions operating in Thailand may obtain THB liquidity from BOT by pledging SGD or Singapore government and central bank securities.

“This collaboration reinforces the growing trade, investment and financial relationships between Singapore and Thailand. The arrangement allows the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Bank of Thailand to accept a wider range of collateral in their liquidity provisioning facilities,” said the statement.

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.
