Jakarta (VNA) – The Bank Indonesia (BI) and the
Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) have announced the extension of their 10-billion-USD
bilateral financial arrangement for another year.
The extension has been endorsed by Indonesian President Joko
Widodo and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, they said in a recent joint media
release.
Accordingly, the move will support monetary and financial
stability in both countries amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The arrangement was established in November 2018, following
the Singapore-Indonesia Leaders’ Retreat, where the leaders asked BI and MAS to
establish the arrangement to build confidence in each other’s economies. It was
previously extended for a year in November 2019./.
