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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
