- 14 April 2011 INTRODUCTION 1 In October last year, MAS increased slightly the slope of the S$NEER policy band, with no change to the level at which the band was centred. This policy decision was made in light of upside risks to inflation amidst sustained high levels of domestic economic activity. At the same time, the policy band was widened slightly to accommodate volatility across international financial markets. Chart 1 S$ Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER) 2 Since then, the S$NEER

- 14 April 2010 INTRODUCTION 1 MAS has maintained a zero percent appreciation path for the S$NEER policy band since October 2008. The policy band was re-centred downwards in April last year, and kept at that level during the last policy announcement in October. This policy stance was assessed to be appropriate, given continuing weakness and uncertainties in global and domestic economic prospects.

The gradual appreciation of the S$ exchange rate over the past few years has helped to mitigate inflationary pressures. Chart 1 Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER) 2 Since the last policy review, the S$NEER has fluctuated
