新加坡金管局的這一行動是全球打擊操縱基準利率金融監管戰役的又一進展。之前的Libor操縱案中，蘇格蘭皇家銀行、瑞銀和巴克萊等銀行被罰數億美元。
Singapore’s central bank Friday censured 20 banks，including ING Bank N.V.，Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and UBS AG，saying some of their traders tried to manipulate local benchmark rates used to price trillions in loans and derivative contracts.

金管局說，該局在過去一年中對2007年至2011年間新加坡市場重要基準利率和匯率的計算過程進行復查，發現了這一行為。
