Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2021 -- A new partnership has been established between the UK and Singapore with a view to working jointly to reinforce regulatory co-operation and make green finance more of a priority. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and HM Treasury in the UK made a joint statement over the summer indicating that this collaboration was imminent. It will involve two main pillars, one of which will be focused on financial services co-operation. The second pillar will have the purpose of enhancing bilateral cyber security co-operation and investigating the best ways to share cyber related information. Other topics were also tabled for future discussions between the two countries, including green finance and carbon markets, as well as fintech and stablecoins. Underlying the agreements being put in place is a desire to focus on the similarities between the two countries' taxonomy principles and metrics for green and transitional activities. The hope is that this will also stimulate the private sector to get involved on more green finance initiatives and data sharing opportunities.
