MAS reorganises with sharper technology focus

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has made several changes to its senior management and created a technology group (TG) to facilitate the central bank’s further adoption of technology. The TG will encompass several existing MAS divisions, such as the data analytics group, information technology department, as well as the technology & cyber risk supervision department, the MAS said in a statement. All organisational and personnel changes will take effect on May 01, unless otherwise indicated. Two MAS assistant managing directors were promoted to deputy managing directorship: Edward Robinson, currently assistant managing director of economic policy, will become deputy managing director of economic policy. He will retain his role as chief economist, and will have responsibility for macro-prudential surveillance.
