The ‘Second Consultation Paper and Response to Feedback Received on Proposed Revisions to Guidelines on Business Continuity Management’ also incorporates key learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic; emphasises the need for financial institutions to take an end-to-end view in ensuring the continuous delivery of critical business services; and introduces principles and practices that financial institutions can implement to strengthen operational resilience.

MAS says that while this consultation is on-going, financial institutions should continue to refer to the 2003 guidelines and supplementary guidance.

The deadline for submissions is 15th November 2021.
