News Flash
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) expects the Singapore dollar to appreciate in line with the economy's strong growth. At the news conference on the second-quarter economic survey on 10 Aug 2000, MAS senior executive director Khor Hoe Ee said the Singapore dollar was expected to appreciate over the next twelve months if the economy continued to grow at the current pace.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on 27 Jul 2000 changed its policy to allow the languishing Singapore dollar to rise in value against some currencies. The Singapore dollar jumped 0.2% against the US dollar after the MAS announcement, breaking through the $1.74 level. It soared from S$1.7415, shortly before 11.30am to S$1.737. To contain inflation, the MAS said it was prepared to allow a "gradual and modest appreciation" of the Singapore dollar against currencies of its major trading partners - known as "trade-weighted basis" - in the coming year.
The Singapore dollar on 11 Jul 2000 dropped to its lowest level in 16 months against the US dollar, dragged by falls in other South-east Asian currencies over ambivalence and uncertainty in the countries' economic reforms. The local currency, which has been on a downward trend in recent weeks, closed below the S$1.74 level against the US dollar for the first time since March last year. There were no signs of intervention by the central bank on the forex market on 11 Jul 2000.
