2022.11.22

The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection and SCE signed a cooperation agreement. It officially launched the operation as part of the World Bank-funded SFFS project. 

 

The Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs established the Singapore Cooperation Agency in 2006 to effectively respond to foreign countries interested in Singapore's development experience.

SCE has been providing professional support and advice to Mongolia's Ministry of Labor and Protection for the joint development of the Central Provident Fund system to improve pension fund management and coordinate social insurance and welfare services.

SCE led a trip with a team of Central Provident Fund consultants from Singapore and visited Mongolia from 10-17 August 2022 as part of the first phase of consultancy services for MLSP to help them better understand the CPF system. The trip was the framework of the following objectives:

  • Sharing of Singapore's CPF experience;
  • Address questions on how the Singapore CPF system has evolved and developed as well as the context of the various CPF policies and challenges faced;
  • Highlight the success factors behind the Singapore CPF system;
  • Identify what prerequisites will be needed for such success to happen in Mongolia; 
  • Identify gaps between the current Mongolian environment and what will be required before introducing a CPF-style system.

On August 11, 2022, the representatives of the SCE organized a seminar, presentation, and experience sharing on Singapore's Central Provident Fund system with the participation of more than 50 people from relevant ministries, organization employees, employers, trade unions, and researchers.

During the meeting seminar, Singapore's Central Provident Fund system, organization management, financing, service conditions, pension, and benefit amounts, system advantages and disadvantages were discussed. In addition, Singapore's experience was compared to Mongolia's, questions were answered, and information was exchanged.
