IBF and MAS Set Out 12 Technical Skills and Competencies in Sustainable Finance
1. The Institute of Banking and Finance Singapore (IBF) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today set out 12 technical skills and competencies needed for individuals to perform various roles in sustainable finance (see Annex for details).
2. The Sustainable Finance Technical Skills and Competencies (SF TSCs) are part of the IBF Skills Framework for Financial Services, which provides information on occupations and job roles, career pathways, and training programmes for skills upgrading and mastery. The SF TSCs cover a range of thematic and functional knowledge topics.
- Thematic topics include climate change policy developments, natural capital, green taxonomies, carbon markets and decarbonisation strategies.
- Functional knowledge topics cover how sustainability is applied across major functions in the financial sector, such as sustainability risk management, sustainability reporting, sustainable investment management, and sustainable insurance and re-insurance solutions.
3. Financial institutions and training providers are strongly encouraged to design training programmes around the SF TSCs. Banks, asset managers and insurers have the flexibility to adopt SF TSCs relevant to their employees and organisation. IBF will work closely with the industry to curate high quality training programmes, and onboard training providers whose curriculum are aligned with the SF TSCs. Participants who enrol in IBF-accredited training programmes can defray up to 90% of training expenses1 under the IBF-Standards Training Scheme grant.
