MAS, OJK renew partnership to drive ASEAN FinTech growth

Theartnership focuses on cross-border knowledge sharing and regulatory cooperation.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) have renewed their partnership with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will further advance the development of FinTech and digital financial assets across ASEAN.

This builds on their 2018 agreement and strengthens the framework for financial innovation.

Under the renewed MoU, MAS and OJK will share knowledge and best practices, facilitate access for promising FinTech firms to regulatory sandboxes in both countries, and promote cooperation across relevant sectors. The partnership will also enhance cross-border information-sharing for FinTech activities within regulatory boundaries.

Hasan Fawzi, Chief Executive of OJK, commented, “The MOU focuses on cross-border digital finance, ensuring regulatory alignment and market integrity.”

The MoU was signed during a bilateral meeting on 10 November, reinforcing the joint push for innovation in ASEAN’s digital economy.

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.
