Singapore Business Review

DBS, OCBC and UOB are Singapore's appointed dealers under the framework, which follows a 2022 MOU. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Bank Indonesia (BI) are set to roll out a framework for the settlement of bilateral transactions between Indonesia and Singapore in their respective local currencies (LCT Framework).

DayOne leads, followed by Princeton Digital Group, ST Telemedia GDC, Nxera and Digital Edge, across a combined $11.5b.

The most useful report is a map of where additional evidence or support is needed. Training completion is one of the easiest workforce metrics to produce. It is also one of the easiest to misread.

That distinction matters in Singapore’s shared-services economy.
