  • Monetary Authority Of Singapore: Strengthening Asia Financial Markets Through Regional Collaboration - Speech By Mr Ng Nam Sin, Assistant Managing Director, Development, At The OCBC Global Treasury Forum

    Date 20/07/2012

    The global financial crisis is still with us

    The theme for this year’s forum is “Winds of Change Affecting Asia”.  This is indeed fitting given the turbulence we have experienced in recent years.  In the near term, there is continued uncertainty over Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and the US’ fiscal deficit issues.  These developments will have a significant impact on the rest of the world, including Asia.  Despite our deepening domestic markets, Asia is not insulated from the rest of the world.   Outcomes in the developed markets have a profound global impact through trade, commodities prices, and in the valuation of currencies and financial instruments.   Through these channels, global winds of change can shake Asia from its long-term path of growth and development.

  • SIFMA Statement On Eminent Domain And TBA Trading

    Date 19/07/2012

    SIFMA today issued the following statement on eminent domain and TBA trading: 

    Recent press reports have discussed SIFMA's consideration of the potential impact of a seizure of mortgage loans through an eminent domain process on the To-Be-Announced (TBA) markets for Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS).  The reports correctly note SIFMA and its members' strong concerns with and objections to such proposed policies that involve the use of involuntary seizures under eminent domain powers. SIFMA's existing TBA trading practice guidelines do not currently contemplate such actions and their impact on the homogeneity of loans eligible for TBA delivery needs to be assessed.  Therefore, SIFMA necessarily discussed this issue with its members.
