And all of us in the Singapore Government and MAS will walk this journey with you, to support and collaborate with the FinTech community in this joint endeavour. But amongst the remaining individual users of cheques, we recognise there are some, especially seniors, who are still not comfortable with shifting to e-banking and e-payments. This will help to bring down a substantial portion of the cheque transaction volume in Singapore. More than 200 jobs have been created with the setting up of new innovation labs, and the scheme has also supported the growth of young start-ups into technology players with a strong nexus to financial services. In particular, it can help to ensure the quality and accessibility of ESG data, and address concerns associated with green-washing. MAS has made clear our stance on speculative trading of crypto currencies by retail investors – we believe this is highly risky, not suitable for the public, and we aim to reduce the risk of potential harm to consumers. This will enable Singaporeans to identify potential gaps in their protection more easily, and have a more comprehensive view of their financial positions. This extends the same benefits that we have in PayNow, to fund transfers between Singapore and Thailand. One specific approach that we are taking in Singapore is to establish linkages between the real-time payment systems of our key regional partners. This collaboration will lead to a significant reduction in the time and effort needed to process these guarantees, and ultimately benefiting the individual and business users. It enables us to be more productive, to improve our standards of living, and to build greater resilience. These 5 Es – Enhance; Empower; Envision; Encourage and Engage – sets the backdrop for Singapore’s FinTech journey to harness the full potential of technology and innovation.

The share of cheques as a proportion of payments using cheques, GIRO, and FAST used to be 32% in 2016 and has fallen to 7% in 2021. MAS will partner with KPMG and the Singapore FinTech Association to identify key use-cases and growth strategies in this space. After introducing the Financial Sector Technology and Innovation Scheme, or the FSTI, to support the creation of a vibrant ecosystem for innovation in the financial sector, the MAS has provided two rounds of funding. “Going forward, we hope to onboard more financial institutions and a wider range of financial information onto SGFinDex for an even more comprehensive overview and greater convenience in financial planning,” Wong said. They have successfully conducted the first industry trials, featuring cross-currency transactions and trading of tokenised securities and will work to sharpen the digital asset strategy in Singapore. Wong described Singapore as a “red dot in a dangerous world” that must ultimately count on itself to survive and thrive.

DPM Lawrence Wong at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2022 (Prime Minister's Office Singapore)

Opening Address by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2022 on 2 November 2022.

Let us work together to harness the power of finance and technology as a force for good, and become better and stronger together. This is how we ensure that the financial industry in Singapore stays at the leading edge of FinTech – continually experimenting and innovating, creating positive change, and solving problems for mankind and the world. Encourage allows us to be relentless in pushing the frontiers of innovation and technology. We are studying these issues carefully, and we will consult the public separately when we are ready. This will help to bring down a substantial portion of the cheque transaction volume in Singapore. The share of cheques as a proportion of payments using cheques, GIRO, and FAST used to be 32% in 2016. We recognise that the current ESG FinTech landscape is still nascent, and MAS will partner KPMG and the Singapore FinTech Association to identify key use-cases and growth strategies in this space. We will also support the next generation of Centres of Excellence, which will spearhead the development of tools to support emerging domains such as Web 3.0. In short, we aim to become a centre for innovative and responsible digital asset activities. In the past, the application process for such guarantees and bonds takes a few days. And ultimately, we have to count on our own ingenuity and wits to survive and thrive. And the Government is also providing full support for this effort.

"FinTech in its Element: Water, Metal, Fire, Wood, Earth" - Speech by ... (Monetary Authority of Singapore)

Like the five elements of Water, Fire, Earth, Metal and Wood, it is exchange and interactions that generate growth and new possibilities. We want to expand economic opportunity, enhance social inclusion, reduce risks, and protect our planet. Given its volatility and speculative nature, cryptocurrencies do not hold promise to serve as money in the first place. - But it does not solve the settlement problem. We can programme the beneficiaries and purposes into the money itself. - Project Nexus solves the clearing problem. When they are used as a medium of exchange, people call them cryptocurrencies. We need Green FinTech. They are essentially digital, programmable versions of cash. They have performed poorly as a medium of exchange as well as a store of value. - But if it is about trading and speculating in cryptocurrencies, that is not the kind of crypto hub we want to be. It would require some 190 links for 20 countries to be inter-linked on a bilateral basis.
