Observations

In the coming weeks, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will conduct an on-site inspection of Credit Suisse following a high-profile money laundering scandal involving at least one of its customers. 

The scandal has led to the seizure of over S$2.8 billion in assets and has implicated numerous domestic and international banks in Singapore. According to people familiar with the matter, the regulator is set to interview Credit Suisse personnel and review documents within weeks. MAS's visit would be outside its regular engagements with banks, and signals potential issues with the lenders' sizeable exposure to the suspects and overall handling of client vetting.
