MAS: Singdollar stands firm

Singapore Dollar will remain strong amidst China's announcement on weekend that it will give the Yuan more space for flexibility.

"The People's Bank of China’s announcement will not have an impact on Singapore’s exchange rate regime," said the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

The PBC made an announcement which was welcomed globally, the United States included, saying it will proceed further with reform of the Renminbi (RMB) exchange rate regime and enhance RMB exchange rate flexibility.

The MAS affirmed that the policy of a modest and gradual appreciation of the S$NEER policy band it announced on 14 April 2010 remains unchanged and is appropriate against underlying economic conditions.

In a statement released Monday, the MAS said it will continue to be vigilant over developments in the external environment and their impact on the domestic economy, and stands ready to curb excessive volatility in the S$NEER.

Recent reports showed Asian currencies and stocks have risen but the Chinese Yuan showed off a thundering achievement as it jumped to an outstanding 21-month high on Monday.

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.
