SINGAPORE, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Asian financial centre Singapore is set to be taken off the OECD's "grey list" of countries not implementing international standards on information exchange, giving a boost to its fast-growing wealth industry.

France will sign the agreement with Singapore on Friday, according to an invitation from the French government.

The agreement features the new internationally agreed standard that requires governments to disclose financial information upon specific foreign requests to chase tax evaders.

It marks the 12th such agreement Singapore has signed, the number of treaties required to be removed from the OECD list.
