    THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reaffirmed Singapore's financial sector oversight to be "among the best globally", and described the country's economic fundamentals as strong, and its economic policies as sound.

    This was its third financial sector assessment programme (FSAP) done on Singapore, with the last one done in 2013.
