As part of MAS' ongoing review and update of MAS Notices to financial institutions, we have revised MAS Notice 755. The key changes are as follows:-
a) Returns will be submitted under the Notice on a weekly rather than daily basis; and
b) Only S$ FX transactions of at least US$1 million each are required to be reported.
A copy of the revised MAS Notice 755 is enclosed at Annex 1 (PDF, 11.8KB). The Notice can also be downloaded from the MAS website.
2 In order to allow banks time to modify their internal systems to meet the revised reporting requirements, the revised Notice shall take effect on 6 Oct 2003, ie. the first weekly return under the revised Notice will be submitted on 13 Oct 2003 and will cover the week beginning 6 Oct 2003. In the interim, banks should continue to submit their daily returns in accordance with the existing MAS Notice 755. The last daily return will be submitted on 3 Oct 2003.
3 The submission of returns under the revised MAS Notice 755 will be done electronically through the MASNET Website. Operational details on the submission of the returns can be found at Annex 2 (PDF, 21.8KB).
