In the inaugural edition of our Singapore bulletin of business updates, our legal specialists examine a range of developments that may affect your businesses and investments, including:

  • Financial services and wealth management – MAS' revised framework for single family offices, proposed enhancements to the technology risk management regime, changes to the complex products framework, and Singapore's plans to strengthen its position in intermediating global-regional gold flows.
  • Funds and private capital – perspectives on redemption pressures affecting private credit funds globally, and how these developments may differ for Asia-focused private credit strategies and fund structures.
  • Indonesia regulatory developments – new registration requirements that may affect overseas-headquartered venture capital firms and certain foreign financial institutions conducting activities in Indonesia.
  • Real estate and climate resilience – Singapore's new coastal protection framework and the potential implications for coastal landowners, developers and businesses operating in affected areas.
  • Technology, AI and data protection – developments relating to agentic AI governance, proposed guidance on the use of personal data in generative AI, and the upcoming phase-out of NRIC numbers as authentication credentials.
  • Intellectual property and dispute resolution – the renewal of the WIPO-ASEAN Mediation Programme and opportunities for businesses to access funding for IP and technology-related mediation.
