    THE Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Thursday launched a consultation paper outlining proposals to enhance safeguards and controls for the sale of financial products by financial institutions (FIs) at public places and via third-party retailers.

    Under the enhanced rules, MAS will require all FIs to notify it of their marketing and distribution activities at retailers and public places. This is to allow MAS to monitor the extent of such activities and tailor its supervisory approach accordingly.
