MAS contributes reserves to IMF pandemic funds
Singapore to provide $20.6 million to IMF initiatives for low-income countries hit by Covid-19
Singapore is contributing $20.6 million to International Monetary Fund (IMF) initiatives to support low-income countries hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The majority of the grant, $19.6 million, will be drawn from the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s official foreign reserves, the central bank said. A further $1 million will come from money Singapore already holds in IMF accounts.
The funds will help the IMF meet a surge in requests for financial assistance, the MAS said in a statement.
