Growth in 2026 subject to uncertainties: MAS
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has sounded caution over Singapore's economic growth for next year. This is even as it kept monetary policy unchanged, given better-than-expected performance in 2025 so far. Still, experts say that MAS is keeping the door open for a possible third round of easing in October. Dr Tan Kee Wee, Principal Economist at Waveney Economics, gives his update on the prevailing view about the uncertainties ahead - from tariffs and the possibility of global shocks. He also gives his prediction on the tariff situation for Singapore.
