What the role is

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is Singapore's central bank and integrated financial regulator.

As central bank, MAS promotes sustained, non-inflationary economic growth through the conduct of monetary policy and close macroeconomic surveillance and analysis. It manages Singapore's exchange rate, official foreign reserves, and liquidity in the banking sector.

As an integrated financial supervisor, MAS fosters a sound financial services sector through its prudential oversight of all financial institutions in Singapore – banks, insurers, capital market intermediaries, financial advisors, and stock exchanges. It is also responsible for well-functioning financial markets, sound conduct, and investor education.

MAS also works with the financial industry to promote Singapore as a dynamic international financial centre. It facilitates the development of infrastructure, adoption of technology, and upgrading of skills in the financial industry.

Join us now, if you have a genuine interest in making an impact to help shape Singapore's economic and financial landscape.

What you will be working on

You will conduct regular surveillance, analysis and stress testing of the Singapore financial sector and international financial systems, with a particular focus on the Singapore banking and corporate sectors.  You will be expected to undertake or advise others in carrying out research and analysis on financial stability issues that are of relevance to MAS as a central bank and integrated supervisor of the financial services sector. You will have the opportunity to present your assessments to senior management and shape international and domestic thinking on financial stability and policymaking. The department's research output will be published in MAS' annual Financial Stability Review. The candidate is expected to be self-motivated and creative, with a keen interest in the use of quantitative methods in research and financial developments.

Specific work responsibilities include:

  • Keep abreast of key international macroeconomic and financial developments, and draw out the potential risks and spillovers to the financial system in Singapore. Conduct surveillance and research on Singapore's banking and corporate sectors, identify vulnerabilities, and assess the implications for financial stability. Contribute to research pieces and regular macro-financial updates to senior management.

  • Undertake special topical studies on the banking and corporate sectors to draw out relevant insights for Singapore, as well as contribute to the international policy discussions on global and regional financial stability. Possible topics could include further studies on bank business models, banking and corporate sector vulnerabilities, climate risk exposures, global financial conditions, capital flows and macroprudential policies.

What we are looking for

  • Quantitative skills (e.g. econometrics) and/or relevant work experience would be an advantage, or degree in Economics or Finance.
  • Strong analytical skills, with good understanding of current macroeconomic and financial issues
  • Good written and strong presentation skills
  • ​Ability to produce timely research, both independently and as part of a team

All applicants will be notified on whether they are shortlisted or not within 4 weeks of the closing date of this job posting.
