Economic conditions in Singapore and Vietnam: a monetary policymaker's report
Yellen, Janet L. (2008)
Each year, the President of the San Francisco Fed joins the Federal Reserve Board Governor responsible for liaison with Asia on a "fact-finding" trip to the region.

Monetary policy in a small open economy: the case of Singapore
Wood, John H. (1992-04)
John H. Wood studies Singapore, a small open economy dedicated to growth through both saving and the attraction of foreign investment. He finds that the monetary authority's supporting role is the provision of a stable monetary environment, particularly a stable domestic price level. Singapore's monetary authority has unusual freedom from domestic constraints in fulfilling this role because of the government's conservative fiscal policy, control of labor relations, and disinclination to support unprofitable enterprises.

At least a partial resolution to these puzzles is found in the government policy response: Countries with a relatively high saving-investment ...

Currency speculation and the optimum control of bank lending in Singapore dollar: a case of partial liberalization
Chan, Kenneth S.; Ngiam, Kee-Jin (1996)
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has a long-standing policy of controlling bank lending in Singapore dollars to nonresidents and to residents who use the funds outside Singapore. While the control may prevent the internationalization of the Singapore dollar and contain exchange rate volatility, it can hinder the deepening and widening of the financial markets in Singapore. ; This paper suggests three policy options that would allow traders and investors to borrow Singapore dollars without any restrictions, while making it costly for speculators since their activities can cause ...
