    CREDIT Suisse now believes that Singapore's central bank will ease monetary policy in April, considering the country's weaker inflation outlook and subdued GDP (gross domestic product) growth prospects.

    But economists from other banks disagree - their base case scenario is for the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to maintain its current policy stance of a "modest and gradual" appreciation of the Singapore dollar.
