Monetary Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill aims to amend two acts related to reserves management. The bill allows the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to transfer excess foreign reserve assets to the Government in exchange for reserves management Government securities (RMGS). It specifies that RMGS can only be issued to the MAS and sets a limit of $580 billion on the amount that can be issued. The bill also introduces definitions and stipulations regarding the management and redemption terms of RMGS, ensuring proceeds are used in line with the Government Securities Fund. The changes are intended to enhance monetary policy operations and the development of the bond market in Singapore.
