Financial Talent Development

Talent development remains a key focus of MAS, despite the current economic downturn. In developing a quality workforce that stays ahead of the curve, MAS and the industry continue with our efforts to raise the level of competency, professionalism and ethical standards. This is complemented by the various training schemes available to systematically upgrade the capabilities and skills of financial sector professionals. We encouraged such efforts through the enhancement of the Financial Sector Development Fund (FSDF)'s existing training schemes, and launched a new scheme to catalyse the creation of job and attachment opportunities for fresh graduates.
