Singapore banks to undergo in-depth stability check after almost a decade

Last health check-up was in 2004.

In a release, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced that Singapore will participate in the International Monetary Fund’s Financial Sector Assessment Programme (FSAP) in 2013. Singapore last participated in the programme in 2004.

Here's more:

The FSAP is a comprehensive and in-depth external assessment of a country’s financial sector. The assessment contributes to a deeper understanding of the stability and resilience of the financial sector. As an international financial centre, Singapore is committed to undergoing periodic financial stability assessments.

Singapore will be assessed against international standards for the banking, insurance and securities sectors, in order to benchmark itself to these prescribed standards. MAS is working closely with the financial sector in preparation for the assessment.

The FSAP mission will visit Singapore in April and May 2013 for the standards and financial stability assessments.

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.
