Currency forecast to rise 2.4%

Bigger driver would be more of the trend in the Chinese currency and the outlook of the euro, says a currency strategist.

A Bloomberg report quoted Moh Siong Sim, a currency strategist at Bank of Singapore Ltd., as saying, “The yuan would matter over a longer time horizon simply because it’s appreciating against the dollar and is likely to do so. You also could see a stronger euro once they manage to kick the can down the road in terms of the debt problems.”

The bank predicts the currency will strengthen 1.6 percent to S$1.20 per dollar by year-end and 2.4 percent to S$1.19 in 12 months, according to the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
