MAS keeps Singapore dollar policy unchanged

MAS had eased the monetary policy twice earlier this year.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in an announcement on 30 July that it will maintain the prevailing rate of appreciation of the Singapore dollar nominal effective exchange rate (S$NEER) policy band.

There will be no change to its width and the level at which it is centred.

In a statement, MAS said that it had eased monetary policy twice earlier this year, and is in an appropriate position to respond to risks to medium-term price stability.

MAS also maintained that for 2025, its core inflation and CPI-All Items inflation are forecast to average 0.5–1.5%.

Core inflation was stable at 0.6% YoY in Q2 2025, unchanged from the previous quarter.

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.
