SG, China roll out initiatives on digital finance, capital markets

The initiatives include a cross-border E-CNY pilot between the two countries.

Singapore and China will roll out three initiatives on new digital finance and capital markets.

The first of which is the cross-border E-CNY pilot between the two markets.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the People’s Bank of China (PBCDCI) will embark on a pilot to allow travellers from both countries to use e-CNY for tourism spending in Singapore and China.

Singapore and China also launched the  Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) Product Link between the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). 

On 1 December, CSOP1 Huatai-Pinebridge SSE Dividend Index ETF and the CSOP iEdge Southeast Asia+ TECH Index ETF were launched on SGX and SSE  as the first product pairing under the new ETF Product Link.

Lastly, SGX and Guangzhou Futures Exchange (GFEX) will collaborate on information exchange, mutual visits and training, and joint research on products and business areas relating to green development.

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.
