MAS, Brunei central bank ink MOU to deepen financial industry cooperation

MAS managing director Ravi Menon said that they had “a good exchange of views.”

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to deepen cooperation in banking and insurance supervisors.

BDCB managing director Rokiah Bakar and MAS managing director Ravi Menon inked the MOU, which is expected to facilitate the effective supervision of banks and insurers operating across the two jurisdictions, including through information exchange and cross border on-site inspections.

BDCB and MAS also exchanged views on recent economic and financial developments;
cooperation in sustainable finance to accelerate climate change mitigation and adaptation in
ASEAN; as well as developments in Central Bank Digital Currencies and cross-border payments, according to a joint press release.

“We had a good exchange of views, further strengthening the very good relations between MAS and BDCB,” said Menon on the roundtable.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
