Singapore central bank kept its monetary policy unchanged on Friday as the current setting is assessed to be 'sufficiently tight' to dampen imported inflation and curb domestic cost pressures.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore, or MAS, decided to maintain the prevailing rate of appreciation of the S$NEER policy band. There will be no change to its width and the level at which it is centered.
The MAS applies the exchange rate against a basket of currencies within an undisclosed band as its monetary policy tool.
