    Interest Rate Parity - A Strange issue of SGDMYR

    @anonymousrain Yup. From a policy POV, MAS doesn't regulate interest rate, and instead prefers to manage inflation through currency exchange. There's also the whole impossible trinity thing that explains why they cannot do both currency and interest at the same time. Regardless of the basis...

    Interest Rate Parity - A Strange issue of SGDMYR

    @denise123 a. Totally understand that IRP is oversimplifying what is a complicated mix of things. b. Banks' SGDMYR Forward rates are set based on IRP + spread, so I won't say it's totally divorced from reality. c. Sometimes basic analysis is informative, and insightful. My own reading of the...

    Bumiputera vs Non-Bumi Property
