On behalf of the Financial Markets Association of Singapore community, I would like to send my regards to the readers of the directory.
Formed in 1972, we are the standard bearer for financial markets’ professionals in Singapore. Our history has been inextricably linked to Singapore’s emergence as a leading financial centre in the world.
Financial Markets Association of Singapore (formerly known as ACI Singapore) is affiliated to ACI – The Financial Markets Association (ACI FMA), a Paris-based global umbrella body of financial markets associations, ACI FMA, founded as Association Cambiste Internationale and has more than 8,000 international members worldwide in more than 60 countries. Singapore has always been an active participant in the ACI Global arena with elected representatives in the ACI FMA Standing Committees.
Our Singapore Association was officially renamed to Financial Markets Association of Singapore (FMAS) on 31st March 2021 to reflect a stronger focus on the domestic agenda while still affiliated to the global ACI FMA entity. FMAS Executive Committee had recommended that the association adopts a progressive mentality and refocus our efforts to promote the association’s key objective of fostering collaboration within the financial market ecosystem within Singapore. This includes promoting and supporting all participants who support the front office of the financial market in Singapore, such as the treasury middle and back office, the risk and compliance professionals and recognised market operators in the ecosystem
Since the end of 2009, FMAS, first in partnership with the Singapore Management University, had developed a Financial Markets training roadmap for Financial Markets professionals in the front, middle, and back offices in training in that area. But since 2019, FMAS has taken the training and development in-house and is now recognised as a key Financial Markets training provider in Singapore. This underpins FMAS’s commitment to continuing education and professional development for our members and the financial markets industry in Singapore.
Since 2021, FMAS has been organising the inaugural Asia Financial Markets Forum, an event especially relevant to the treasury and markets function in banks, financial institutions and corporates who face major challenges in how to stay ahead of the ever-changing environment. FMAS hopes that by establishing this as an annual forum, it would help to bring in the fraternity of top thought leaders and establish lasting networking within our financial markets ecosystem.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Times Directories for uniting industry leaders in the Singapore Banking & Financial Services Industry Directory, helping to cultivate a sense of community and collaboration among us professionals.
