Professor Johan Sulaeman on Temasek's and MAS' green investments
Singapore's state investor Temasek and the central bank both released their sustainability reports on Jul 9. The portfolio value of Temasek's green investments is up S$2 billion to reach S$46 billion. This accounts for about 11 per cent of its total portfolio value, slightly lower than the 12 per cent in the last financial year. Meanwhile, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has changed its approach to green investments in a bid to lower financial risks and boost resilience. Professor Johan Sulaeman, Director of the Sustainable and Green Finance Institute at the National University of Singapore, discusses MAS and Temasek's green investments. He talks about how the change in the central bank's investment approach will help minimise financial risks and boost resilience. He also shares what the state investor can do to stay nimble to meet sustainable targets.
