Financial institutions and fintech companies are getting a S$125-million boost from Singapore's central bank. The initiative is funded by the Financial Sector Development Fund. The support package aims to help companies strengthen their capabilities during the slower economic climate. S$90 million will go towards training and managing manpower costs. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is also doubling the salary grant to S$2,000 a month when firms hire new graduates or workers from other sectors. S$35 million has been set aside for smaller firms to digitalise -- the grant supports 80% of expenses when they adopt digital solutions.
