Singapore left its monetary policy unchanged Wednesday after two consecutive rounds of easing, as subdued inflation gives policymakers time to assess the economic fallout from US tariffs this year and next.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which uses the exchange rate as its main policy tool rather than interest rates, said in a statement that it will keep the slope, width and center of the policy band unchanged. The decision was predicted by 14 of 19 economists in a Bloomberg survey Bloomberg Terminal .
新加坡在连续两轮宽松政策后,于周三决定维持现行货币政策不变。当前通胀温和,政策制定者得以有时间评估今明两年美国关税带来的经济影响。
新加坡金融管理局(MAS)以汇率而非利率作为主要政策工具,该机构在声明中表示将维持政策区间的斜率、宽度和中心水平不变。此项决定与彭博社(Bloomberg Terminal)调查中19位经济学家中的14位预测结果一致。
