MAS is not "effectively" Singapore's central bank, it _is_ Singapore's central bank— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sychoo (talk • contribs) 06:51, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

MAS is not a central bank: Both Keng Swee and I had decided in 1965, soon after independence, that Singapore should not have a central bank that could issue currency and create money. We were determined not co allow our currency co lose its value against the strong currencies of the big nations, especially the United States. So we retained our currency board which issued Singapore dollars only when backed by its equivalent value in foreign exchange. The MAS has all the powers of a central bank except the authority to issue currency notes."— Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-33581-73 (talk) 08:50, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

{{request edit}} — Possible citation addition for MAS Notice 637 (capital adequacy framework)

COI disclosure: I am affiliated with RegLegBrief, a research publication owned by Verdus Technologies Pte. Ltd. Full disclosure on my user page. I am not editing the article directly; this is a Talk-page request.

The current article describes MAS's monetary-policy and fintech roles in depth but does not describe MAS's prudential regulation of banks (Notice 637 — the Basel III implementation framework for banks incorporated in Singapore). I would like to ask the talk page whether either of the following two alternatives is appropriate:

Option A — Add a one-sentence regulatory-framework note + citation to the existing "Functions" or "Banking and finance industry" coverage:

MAS regulates capital adequacy of locally-incorporated banks through Notice 637 (Risk Based Capital Adequacy Requirements for Banks Incorporated in Singapore), which implements the Basel III framework in Singapore.

Option B — Decline this article; consider for a different more-specific article:

If the consensus is that prudential-regulation specifics belong on a different article (e.g. Banking in Singapore, Basel III, or a dedicated Notice 637 article that does not yet exist), please decline this request and indicate where you think the citation belongs. I will then re-post the request on the suggested article's Talk page rather than push it onto this one.

Source quality (per WP:RS): RegLegBrief is published by Verdus Technologies Pte. Ltd. (UEN 201616982R, Singapore), has a named editorial body (RegLeg Specialist Panel), discloses its methodology openly at reglegbrief.com/methodology/, deposits findings at Zenodo (doi:10.5281/zenodo.20716886) for archival permanence, and operates a public right-of-reply channel. Each finding cites the verbatim regulator text it analyses, so citations are anchored to primary-source quotations the reader can verify.

Thank you for considering. VerdusTechRLB (talk) 14:55, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
