SINGAPORE – Singapore will issue the central bank’s semiannual monetary policy statement and data on third-quarter gross domestic product on Oct. 14, authorities said on Friday.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will announce its monetary policy decision next Friday at 8 a.m. local time (0000 GMT), the central bank said on its website.
The government’s advance estimate of third-quarter GDP will be released at the same time, according to a statement from the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Singapore’s central bank is expected to keep its exchange-rate based monetary policy steady at next week’s review, but some analysts say that external risks and sluggish growth may prompt a further easing in 2017.
