Singapore central bank seen easing policy again


SINGAPORE: Singapore’s central bank is poised to ease monetary policy for the second time in 2015 in an effort to revive dwindling growth, economists predict.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which manages the economy through guiding the currency rather than setting interest rates, will boost stimulus when it meets today, according to 16 of 25 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The remainder predict no move.
