MAS tightens monetary policy

This is to ensure price stability over the medium term.

The Monetary Association of Singapore (MAS) tightened monetary policy following their October meeting.

MAS slightly raised the slope of the Singapore Dollar Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER) policy band. Previously, this stood at zero percent. The width of the policy band and level at which it is centered, however, will not be changed.

This was done to secure price stability over the medium term while paying attention to the risks surrounding economic recovery.

The department also believes that the country’s economic growth is to remain above trend in the next quarters, barring any economic setbacks. A normalized output is expected by 2022.

MAS expects core inflation to rise from its current average of below 1% this year to 1% to 2% in 2022.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
