Financial Education in Singapore

posted by Adam Levitin

As Lauren's work has detailed, there's a veritable financial literacy industry in the United States. The CFPB is even charged with undertaking certain financial literacy initiatives. As it turns out Singapore is a full decade ahead of us on this front.  The government of Singapore has a quite good financial education website.

This is very interesting but somewhat out of kilter with the deregulated cowboyish Singapore I was familiar with pre-crisis.

Advertisements for leveraged CMS steepener notes with FTSE-100 kickers. All sorts of crazy structured product that any mom and pop could go into their local bank branch and buy! Brochures complete with chart-porn of backtested returns! Just the kind of adrenaline charged products that gung-ho Asian equity-market pumped investors would love until they went horribly wrong. And, just the kind of product we need to keep regular consumers away from.

Perhaps this is back to basics for Singaporean investors?

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click here to visit the page for the list and then click on the link for "Subscribe." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless ([email protected]) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
