European Central Bank - an excellent approach

Hi, Mr. Tan,
I just heard BBC News (Radio88.9) at 8 pm: European Central Bank said banks selling risky products to investors must share risks. Don't know whether SM Goh and MAS officials heard this news.

This is an excellent approach. More details are found here:

Unfortunately, this proposal does not help investors who already bought the risky products in the past from getting compensation. The compensation has to be obtained through existing channels.
