The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) was established on 1 January 1971, following the passage of the Monetary Authority of Singapore Act by Parliament in 1970.
MAS's original mandate was to regulate the financial services sector and act as banker and financial agent for the Government.
Over the years, MAS's mandate has expanded dramatically.
On 1 October 2002, MAS merged with the Board of Commissioners of Currency, and thus, MAS assumed the exclusive power to issue Singapore's currency.
MAS's mission statement is to promote sustained, non-inflationary economic growth while maintaining a sound, progressive, and internationally competitive financial centre.
