Yields forecast at 0.4%

The central bank said that the policy of a modest and gradual appreciation of the SGD NEER will help "cap CPI inflation at 2-3% in 2011 from 2.5-3.0% in 2010".

DBS said that the Monetary Authority of Singapore in october increased the slop and width of the SGD NEER policy band, saying that "while inflation has been largely driven by higher car and commodity prices so far this year, other domestic sources of cost pressures have emerged amidst buoyant economic conditions."

DBS said that they expect the SGS curve to steepen somewhat further in 1Q11. Yields are likely to end 1Q11 around 0.4% in the 2Y sector and around 2.55% in the 10Y sector.

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.
