According to MUFG analyst Lloyd Chan, the Singapore Dollar is positioned as a relatively defensive currency compared to other ASEAN peers. This view is supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) tight management of the Singapore Dollar Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER) policy, which helps contain volatility and inflationary pressures.
The MAS's exchange-rate-centered framework provides a stable anchor for the SGD, limiting sharp moves and keeping it less exposed to regional weaknesses.
