    BANKS in Singapore and cloud-computing services providers on Wednesday welcomed the new guidelines on outsourcing risk-management for financial institutions (FIs) issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) earlier in the day.

    The guidelines, drawn up from extensive industry and public consultation, provide the industry with expanded guidance on how to manage the risks of outsourcing, including that for cloud-computing services, which are being increasingly adopted by FIs to streamline operations in a digitalised economy.
