Singapore aims to increase its financial sector’s growth to 4.3% a year, which will lead to a total creation of 4,000 jobs, as part of its plan to strengthen its status as the Asian financial hub and leading international wealth management hub.
"With technology transforming the way financial services are produced, delivered, and consumed, it is critical that Singapore’s financial sector also transforms, to stay relevant and competitive," the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Monday.
The MAS said that the main focus is to encourage the adoption of technology to increase efficiency. The central bank said it will work closely with financial institutions to implement common utilities such as electronic payments, and invest in research and development of “distributed ledger technology” for inter-bank payments and trade finance.
Part of its plan also includes expanding cross-border cooperation agreements with other fintech centers and using technology to simplify financial regulator compliance, to encourage foreign fintech start-ups to use Singapore as a base.
Chua Hak Bin, Maybank Kim Eng economist, said a challenge for Singapore is striking a balance between staying at the forefront of technology, and ensuring that technology is not too disruptive for the sector.
"Technology is blurring geography, and financial transactions can now be increasingly conducted with applications and the Internet via new financial entities," he said.
"You want to encourage these things to take off and yet at the same time, you want to balance that risk... that some of this new technology could actually be disruptive to your major local players," Chua said.
Ong Ye Kung, education minister and an MAS board member, said encouraging innovation “does not mean the regulator takes a laissez-faire, hands-off approach.”
"New and emerging activities that pose systemic risk or endanger consumer interests will need to be regulated. At the same time, the landscape for existing regulated activities may have changed, necessitating a relook at rules," he added.
シンガポールの掲げる“アジアの中心”戦略
シンガポールが、年4%以上の成長を目指し、何千人もの雇用を創出することを目的として、アジアの金融拠点としての地位を強化するためのロードマップを発表。シンガポール金融庁は、「金融サービスの生産、供給、消費の仕方を変える技術によって、シンガポールの金融部門も変革し、競争力を維持することが重要だ」とコメント。中央銀行は、シンガポールが資金管理という意味でのアジアにおけるハブだけでなく、国際社会における富の管理の中心地となることを目指している、と述べています。
シンガポールは現在、世界第3位の外国為替取引の中心地であり、アジアでは世界的な投資フローのシェア拡大が見込まれており、シンガポールの中央銀行(MAS)は、市場参加者がより良い流動性とより大きな利益を得ることができるよう、外国為替取引の効率化を推進する旨をコメントしています。MASはさらに、シンガポールを、資本調達および企業融資という意味でのアジアの中心地として発展させるために、金融業界との協力が進められている現状を発表しました。この目的達成のために、MASは、電子決済などのサービスの共通ユーティリティを作成するために金融機関と協力し、銀行間支払いのための分散型元帳技術といったソリューション開発のために研究開発に投資する方針です。
