- MAS participated directly in proof-of-concept trials together with industry players to test the application of this technology to inter-bank payments. We learnt much from the exercise. Second, regulation must not front-run innovation.

- Remarks by Mr Ong Chong Tee, Deputy Managing Director, MAS Introduction 1 Good morning. I am delighted to be here for IMAS' 7th Annual Conference. 2 As some of you may be familiar, the fund management industry in Singapore has seen continuous stellar growth.
- And it is still dual reach for alpha and beta, that the MAS actively manage our own reserves with our fund manager partners. The benchmarks that we use are subject to regular strategic reviews, as are our strategic asset allocations.
- On our part, the MAS has a number of schemes that can help defray the costs of training staff, as well as build up research capabilities - and I would encourage all of you to tap this. On this note, I wish you all a fruitful exchange of views and insights during this conference.
