Abigail Ng Appointed as MAS' New Chief Sustainability Officer

Abigail Ng has been appointed as the new Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Ng, formerly a lawyer with Singapore Legal Service, succeeds Gillian Tan who held the role concurrently with her position as assistant managing director, development and international since October 2022.

Ng's appointment comes as MAS seeks to advance its sustainable finance strategy. Her experience in policy development and international engagement will be crucial in this next phase. Under her leadership, MAS aims to build on the progress made by outgoing CSO, Tan, who led the launch of the Finance for Net Zero Action Plan and the Singapore-Asia Taxonomy for sustainable finance. Tan will continue to lead MAS's development and international group after stepping down as CSO.

MAS appointed a dedicated CSO to reflect the growing maturity of its sustainability work and Singapore's position as a leading green finance hub. Tan also worked on initiatives such as the Transition Credits Coalition (TRACTION) and the Financing Asia's Transition Partnership (FAST-P) to accelerate blended finance for the region's energy transition.

Abigail Ng's appointment as MAS's new CSO signals a commitment to furthering Singapore's sustainable finance goals. With her policy background and international experience, she is well-positioned to build on Tan's legacy and drive MAS's next phase of sustainable finance strategy.
