    ECONOMISTS do not expect a slight appreciation in the Singapore dollar (SGD) to deter foreign property developers and buyers. Some say it may even be a boon.

    The central bank on Jan 25 said it will "slightly" raise the rate of appreciation of its policy band, amid rising inflation pressures.
