    SINGAPORE'S central bank acted fittingly when it eased monetary policy last month, said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday.

    "The April 14 adjustment by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) of the slope of its exchange rate band represents the latest of a series of moves to ease monetary policy that commenced in January 2015."
