Mr Vincent Loy, Assistant Managing Director (Technology Group), MAS: “The financial sector’s extensive digital transformation underscores the need for stronger collaboration among financial institutions and financial infrastructure operators to enable timely recovery of services during a crisis. Exercise Raffles brings together both public and private sectors to validate and refine response capabilities to improve crisis preparedness. As IT system and operational disruptions may occur from time to time, it is imperative for the financial sector to fortify our collective competencies to deal with the associated risks and ensure swift recovery of critical financial services. This is to preserve public confidence in the continued delivery of financial services.”
Mrs Ong-Ang Ai Boon, Director of ABS: “Exercise Raffles, conducted since 2006, is an important platform for the financial sector to rigorously test and enhance our resilience in the face of potential disruptions. By working closely with MAS and other stakeholders, we ensure that our systems stay resilient and continue to deliver essential services. We appreciate the dedication and commitment of the various working committees which made this Exercise possible.”
