Daily Briefing: MAS teams up with World Bank to boost fintech; Singapore investors turn to emerging markets

And here's what tenants should do in rental disputes.

From CNBC via Yahoo!: The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank Group member, has signed a memorandum of understanding this week with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in order to encourage fintech innovation in Asia via the establishment of an Asean Financial Innovation Network (Afin). The new Afin body, overseen by IFC and MAS, will set up a regional network this year to help financial institutions (FIs), financial technology (fintech) firms and regulators in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) trading bloc address issues of cross-border compatibility in the region.

From PropertyGuru via Yahoo!: Emerging nations have made it to the top five markets for investment and development this year, based on the Emerging Trends in Real Estate Asia Pacific 2017 report published by the Urban Land Institute and PwC. The rise in foreign investor sentiment is attributed to higher yields and industry-driven opportunities gained through strategic entry into these markets.

From Zuu Online via Yahoo!: Disagreements between landlords and tenants are a common phenomenon in Singapore. At times, it is possible to resolve the dispute amicably by simply having a frank discussion. Small differences of opinion and misunderstandings can easily be cleared up in this manner. But what if the issue is serious and becomes more complicated with time? In such a situation, the only way out may be to refer the matter to a third party for settlement. However, it is possible to ensure that you do not reach this stage at all.
