This meeting was organised by the OECD, World Bank, and ADB and co-hosted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Singapore Institute of Directors, and Singapore Exchange. The Singapore meeting covered a wide range of issues relating to the functions and responsibilities of boards as well as the development of good stakeholder relationships.
