The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued a consultation paper proposing updated Guidelines on Liquidity Risk Management for banks, merchant banks and finance companies in Singapore. The proposed guidelines would update MAS’ 2013 Guidelines on Risk Management Practices – Liquidity Risk for this group of entities, while the 2013 Guidelines would continue to apply to all other types of financial institutions in Singapore. MAS states that the updated Guidelines are intended to provide greater clarity on its supervisory expectations for liquidity risk management by banks, and that they are consistent with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision. MAS also notes that the proposals incorporate observations from its past reviews and supervisory engagements, as well as lessons learned from past liquidity events. The consultation (P013-2025) runs from 29 August 2025 and closes at 11.59 PM on 29 September 2025.
