期货和衍生品行业监管动态
MAS expects core inflation to stay firm for the rest of this year and into the first
half (H1) of 2023, before slowing more discernibly in H2.
Monetary policy takes time to affect inflation. The effects of MAS’ successive
monetary policy moves are still working their way through the economy. It will also
take time for external- and domestic-induced price pressures to ease more discernibly.
The cumulative effects of the five monetary policy tightening moves are estimated to
dampen core inflation by an average of 1.5% points each year over 2022–23.
MAS will continue to deploy monetary policy as appropriate, to ensure
medium-term price stability while recognising near-term risks to economic growth
from a slowing global economy.
The Member asked about whether the Government will consider more targeted
measures to rein in food and accommodation prices. On food, the Minister for Trade
& Industry had in October 2022 spoken about how the appreciating Singapore dollar,
the diversification of Singapore’s food supply sources, and Government assistance to
lower-income and vulnerable Singaporeans, should mitigate the effects of higher
global food prices.
As for accommodation prices, the Ministry of National Development, Housing
Development Board (HDB) and MAS have, as Members know, taken steps to
promote sustainable conditions in the property market. The Government has also
increased market subsidies to ensure that prices of new HDB flats remain affordable,
as well as increased supply in both the public and private housing markets.
