A robust and skilled workforce will strengthen Singapore’s ability to serve the growing global sustainable finance market. Singapore’s financial services sector workforce will undergo upskilling within the next three years to seize these opportunities.
The Sustainable Finance Jobs Transformation Map (JTM), jointly published by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF), supported by Workforce Singapore (WSG), lays out the impact of sustainability trends on jobs in Singapore’s financial services sector and the emerging skills that the workforce will require to serve global sustainable financing demands.
With sustainability trends evolving rapidly and becoming mainstream, building a deep talent pool in sustainable finance over the next decade will enable Singapore’s Financial Services (FS) sector to capture new business opportunities and support the progressive transition to net zero.
