MAS, IFC, WEF ink MOU on digital financial inclusion

They will create guidelines for digital financial inclusion financing instruments.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and the World Economic Forum (the Forum) will collaborate on initiatives to advance digital inclusion through financial services.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) inked by the three parties, Financial institutions and fintech companies will help create guidelines for digital financial inclusion financing instruments.

IFC will drive the development of the guidelines covering digital financial inclusion products, assets, and mechanisms. 

MAS, for its part, will explore synergies with its other initiatives to improve financing access for MSMEs in emerging markets. 

Meanwhile, WEF will leverage its international network of government and private sector partners to promote and share these new solutions and learnings.

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.
