MAS fights price pressures with another policy tightening

The midpoint of the Singdollar policy band was re-centred up to its prevailing level.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has tightened its monetary policy for the fourth time since October 2021 to “ensure that price pressures are dampened over the next few quarters.”

In an announcement, MAS said it re-centred the midpoint of the Singdollar policy band up to its prevailing level, but did not change the slope and width of the band.

“This policy shift, building on past tightening moves, will further reduce imported inflation and help curb domestic cost pressures,” MAS said.

“The policy stance will help dampen inflation in the near term and ensure medium-term price stability, providing the basis for sustainable economic growth,” it added.

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.
