The MoU was signed by Singapore Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing, and Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, the US Department of Commerce said in a press release.
The US is Singapore's largest foreign investor, while Singapore is the fourth largest Asian investor in the US.
“This MoU will help Singapore importers finance the purchase of US exports and support Singapore investors looking at opportunities in the US,” Secretary Ross said.
Minister Chan said as like-minded partners, Singapore and the US are committed to supporting their businesses as they respond to the global economic disruptions caused by COVID-19.
