Opening remarks: Ravi Menon at the launch of the Global Finance & Technology Network
In 2015, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) took a bold step. It began to actively promote the use of technology in finance – then loosely called FinTech. MAS launched a series of pioneering initiatives:
- a S$225 million fund to promote FinTech;
- regulatory sandboxes to promote experimentation;
- an electronic payments ecosystem;
- digital platforms for financial planning, tokenised financial assets, and so on.
Singapore is today a leading global FinTech hub.
