    THE Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has eased monetary policy "slightly" in its half-yearly monetary policy review on Monday, in a move that economists see as leaving the door open for another possible easing in April 2020.

    The slope of the Singapore dollar nominal effective exchange rate (S$NEER) band was made less steep, slightly reducing its rate of appreciation. The band's width and the level at which it is centred are unchanged.
