Amongst Financial Institutions (2022/7/4)

Question:

To ask the Prime Minister whether the Government intends to spur the adoption

of sustainable finance amongst financial institutions with incentives or regulations to

encourage active promotion of green financing and achieve basic competency

standards in green financing.

Answer by Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Senior Minister and Minister in

charge of MAS:

MAS has taken a multi-pronged approach to promoting sustainable finance,

namely to: (i) strengthen the financial sector’s resilience to environmental risks; (ii)

enhance climate-related disclosures and data; (iii) support sustainable finance market

development; and (iv) build sustainable finance knowledge and capabilities.

First, MAS has issued guidelines on how environmental risks are to be managed
by financial institutions. These guidelines were recently complemented by a set of

information papers highlighting good practices by financial institutions and

identifying areas where further work is needed. MAS will be conducting stress tests

this year on financial institutions’ resilience against a range of long-term climate

scenarios.

Second, MAS is putting in place enablers to enhance sustainability disclosures

and address data challenges faced by market participants.

a. MAS will consult on introducing mandatory disclosure requirements for

financial institutions, as soon as a global baseline sustainability reporting standard is

established by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), as expected by

the end of this year.

b. SGX has set out a roadmap for mandatory climate-related financial disclosures
by listed entities. Listed companies in sectors where climate-related disclosures are

the most relevant will be required to provide these disclosures for the financial year
