SESSION THREE: Singapore’s role in the global payments system

Wednesday 6 November (1200 - 1245)

Description

Singapore is a major “money centre”. Singapore plays an important role in the global payments system. There have been some recent examples of money laundering taking place in Singapore which has affected the external perception of Singapore.

This session will discuss what Singapore is doing about that perception (and the reality of all money centres being at risk of being used for money laundering) and the consequences for lawyers doing business in Singapore. Are lawyers discharging their responsibilities?
