SGX, BOC, BOCI extend MOU to bring in more RMB initiatives

Such as RMB-denominated products and derivatives contracts.

BOC and SGX signed an MOU in 2013, agreeing to strengthen the RMB infrastructure in both markets.

In a media release, SGX announced that it will expand this MOU and include more RMB-denominated products and solutions, such as the development of RMB-denominated commodities and derivatives contracts, as well as enhancing RMB clearing and settlement services.

Chew Sutat, Executive Vice President of SGX, said, “We look forward to expanding our partnership with Bank of China and BOCI to provide global investors with more RMB-denominated products and services. Singapore is a key offshore RMB centre and today’s announcement reinforces SGX’s commitment to strengthen the connectivity between China and Singapore.”

Under the framework for collaboration, BOCI and SGX will provide customers with greater access to growth opportunities in China and Singapore markets, through joint marketing. This is BOCI’s first comprehensive collaboration inked with an exchange, and will see BOCI take up SGX memberships and market making arrangements.

The framework for collaboration was signed today in Singapore and witnessed by Chen Siqing, president of BOC and Magnus Böcker, CEO of SGX in Singapore.

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.
