SG will coordinate MAS’ growing involvement in global and regional sustainable finance forums and work with the rest of the Singapore Government to achieve Singapore’s enhanced climate change and sustainability ambitions.”  Ravi Menon, Singapore MAS Managing Director: ““Promoting sustainable finance and climate resilience have grown significantly in the last two years as areas of priority for MAS. MAS is grateful to Darian for leading our Sustainability Group, fronting our engagements with external stakeholders, and contributing to the growth of Singapore’s sustainable finance ecosystem.  She was instrumental in the setting up of the ESG Impact Hub.  I wish Darian every success in her future endeavours, and look forward to Gillian taking MAS’ sustainability work to the next level.”
