MAS expected to retain policy stance

Despite slight rise in headline inflation.

Singapore headline inflation inched up to 2.0% y/y in August from 1.9% y/y in July, exactly in line with expectations (2.0% y/y), according to BBVA, with accommodation costs (4.2% y/y), service (2.7% y/y) and food price (2.4% y/y) leading the pickup.

"With core inflation (excluding accommodation and private road transport costs) also low at just 1.8% y/y, we expect the Monetary Authority of Singapore to leave its policy stance unchanged at its 6-monthly meeting in October," said BBVA.

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.
