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

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
