The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the People’s Bank of China (PBC) have established the China-Singapore Green Finance Taskforce (GFTF). The aim is to deepen bilateral cooperation in green and transition finance between Singapore and China.
Moreover, the GFTF will facilitate greater public-private sector collaboration. The aim is to work together to meet Asia’s needs as it transitions to a low carbon future.
The GFTF is co-chaired by MAS’ Assistant Managing Director (Development and International) and Chief Sustainability Officer, Ms Gillian Tan, and Chair of the China Green Finance Committee, Dr Ma Jun. Members [2] comprise senior representatives and sustainable finance experts from financial institutions and green FinTech companies from Singapore and China.
Ms Tan said at the meeting, “We are pleased to deepen our collaboration in green and transition finance with the establishment of the GFTF.
The GFTF provides a platform for knowledge exchange and will galvanise collaboration between public-private participants from China and Singapore on concrete initiatives that will catalyse capital flows to support a credible and inclusive transition to a low carbon future for our countries and the region.”
