1 In 2009, the MAS made investigations into the sale and marketing of structured notes linked to Lehman Brothers ("Lehman tes"). MAS's investigations revealed that 10 financial institutions, of which DBS Bank Ltd ("DBS") was one had certain failings in the policies, procedures and controls they had in place for the approval, sales and marketing of Lehman tes. Arising from the investigation, DBS has been directed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore ("MAS") to cease to carry on business in dealing in and providing any financial advisory services in Singapore in respect of any new transactions to an individual (except those served by the private banking unit) for all structured notes with effect from 1 July 2009 for a period of six months or until the MAS is satisfied that DBS has put in place adequate measures to address the findings, whichever is the later (the "Ban"). With effect from 12 February 2010, MAS has lifted the Ban on the sale of structured notes for DBS. 2 MAS censured DBS on 4 August 2010 for the shortcomings and inadequacies in the management oversight of its outsourced IT systems, networks, operations and infrastructure that resulted in the widespread system outage on 5 July 2010. MAS has also taken supervisory action against DBS and directed the DBS to adopt certain measures in relation to its IT infrastructure and outsourcing vendors as well as to apply a multiplier of 1.2 times to its risk-weighted assets for operational risk. On 28 October 2011, MAS announced that DBS had met all key deliverables and lifted the operational risk multiplier. 3 MAS had reprimanded DBS on 6 October 2011 for breaching the requirements under the Representative tification Framework ("RNF") by allowing its representatives to carry out regulated activities prior to their registration with MAS. On 30 vember 2011, MAS published the regulatory action that they have taken against 15 financial institutions (including DBS) for breaches relating to the RNF. Of the 15, 10 had been ordered to pay composition fines ranging from S$5,000 to S$216,000. Four others had like DBS been reprimanded. 4 In June 2013, the MAS censured twenty banks (including DBS Bank Ltd) for deficiencies in their benchmark submissions for Singapore dollar interest rate and foreign exchange spot benchmarks, and directed them to adopt measures to address their deficiencies. These banks are to report their progress to the MAS quarterly, and conduct independent reviews to ensure the robustness of their remedial measures. They are also required to set aside additional statutory reserves with the MAS at zero interest for a period of one year. The supervisory actions taken depend on the severity of the attempts by traders from the banks to inappropriately influence the benchmarks. There are five categories of additional statutory reserves (ranging from S$0 to S$1.2 billion). DBS Bank Ltd is in the third category (S$400 S$600 million).
