MAS inks supervisory deal with Euro market regulators

Singapore’s regulatory framework for credit rating agencies are also to be in line with EU’s rules.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the supervision of credit rating agencies (CRAs).

CRAs play an important role in the global financial markets and their rating activities have a significant impact on the operations of the markets and on investor confidence. The MOU provides a formal basis for supervisory cooperation between MAS and ESMA. It paves the way for the enhanced sharing of supervisory information between the two authorities for more effective supervision of cross-border CRAs operating in Singapore and within the European Union (EU).

In addition to the signing of the MOU, ESMA has also announced that it considers Singapore’s regulatory framework for CRAs to be in line with EU’s CRA regulations, thereby facilitating EU registered CRAs to endorse credit ratings issued in Singapore.

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.
