MAS to slow appreciation of Singapore dollar
SINGAPORE: The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Wednesday (Jan 28) it will adjust its monetary policy and let the Singapore dollar appreciate at a slower pace. The revision in monetary policy came as a surprise as MAS was only scheduled to release its next monetary policy statement in April. MAS last made an "off-cycle" adjustment to policy in October 2001, in the aftermath of the Sep 11 attacks in the United States. At that time, MAS issued policy statements in January and July. The Singapore dollar fell on the news, losing close to 1 per cent against the US dollar and by around 0.5 per cent against the euro. Around 11.30am, the US dollar was trading around S$1.3521, while the euro was worth S$1.5328, according to Bloomberg data. The three-month Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) – a benchmark for mortgage rates – edged up to 0.65289 per cent from 0.64429 per cent. “MAS will continue with the policy of a modest and gradual appreciation of the Singapore Dollar Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (NEER) policy band. However, the slope of the policy band will be reduced, with no change to its width and the level at which it is centred,” the central bank said in its monetary policy statement. “This measured adjustment to the policy stance is consistent with the more benign inflation outlook in 2015 and appropriate for ensuring medium-term price stability in the economy,” it added.
