In a bid to spearhead FinTech education and research, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the National Research Foundation (NRF), and the National University of Singapore (NUS) announced that they will be jointly setting up the Asian Institute of Digital Finance (AIDF) to support the needs of digital financial services in Asia.
In an August 4 statement, MAS, NRF, and NUS said that AIDF will provide thought leadership and strengthen synergies between education, research and entrepreneurship. The institute is expected to open its doors by the end of 2020.
