MAS inks cross-border collateral deal with Bank of Japan

It'll enhance financial stability in Singapore.

According to a release, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) have established a cross-border collateral arrangement to enhance financial stability in Singapore.

Under this arrangement, eligible financial institutions operating in Singapore may obtain Singapore Dollar liquidity from MAS by pledging Japanese government securities with MAS. This widens the range of acceptable collateral in MAS’ liquidity facility, and permits greater flexibility in the liquidity management of eligible financial institutions, including Japanese banks, operating in Singapore.

This collaboration reinforces BOJ and MAS’ commitment to support the long-standing economic and financial relationship between Japan and Singapore.

Details of the arrangement will be made public in due course, when the necessary preparations are completed.

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.
