In an interview, SMU Assistant Professor of Finance (Education) and Director of SMU’s Financial Literacy, Inclusion, and Technology Programme Aurobindo Ghosh said that the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) tightened policy is expected to cushion the potential rising costs that Singaporeans might face. Asst Prof Ghosh added that the policy is timely and pre-emptive; despite talks going on, the Middle East crisis might last a little longer than expected. Asst Prof Ghosh is also Principal Investigator of Singapore Index of Inflation Expectations (SInDEx).
