Jacqueline Loh will take on a new advisory role at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) while continuing to chair the Singapore Payments Network Board.
She will step down as Deputy Managing Director (Corporate Development) to become Principal Advisor in the Managing Director’s office on 1 November 2026.
Her responsibilities will include supporting the Managing Director on risk oversight, governance and leadership development.
The move forms part of wider MAS leadership changes taking effect on the same date.
Loo Siew Yee, currently Assistant Managing Director (Policy, Payments & Financial Crime), will succeed Loh.
She will oversee MAS’ corporate functions, including organisation and people development, technology, finance, risk and currency.
Gillian Tan will take over Loo’s current role, overseeing prudential policy, anti-money laundering, enforcement and the supervision of payment services providers.
Tan is currently Assistant Managing Director (Development & International).
Thong Leng Yeng, currently Executive Director of the Anti-Money Laundering Department, will succeed Tan.
Her portfolio will cover Singapore’s development as an international financial centre and MAS’ international relations.
MAS Managing Director Chia Der Jiun said,
“More recently, Jacqueline has driven efforts to strengthen MAS’ organisational capabilities across key fronts, including people and leadership development and organisational transformation.
She has been an active member in many international and regional central banking forums, and has served as Chair of the BIS Markets Committee for 6 years. I am very glad that we will continue to benefit from her experience.”
Loh has served as Deputy Managing Director for 13 years across markets and investment, development and international affairs, and corporate development.
She joined MAS in 1987, followed by Loo in 1998, Thong in 2007 and Tan in 2015.
