While GDP growth may see an uptick.
According to OCBC, as widely expected, BI kept its policy rate unchanged at 5.75% on Thursday, stating the fact that current rate remains inline with the current inflation trajectory. Inflation is seen to remain orderly in the 3.5-5.5% range for 2013-2014.
"GDP growth is also likely to pick up in 2013 and 2014, and with this, the central bank sees little need to adjust its monetary policy at this juncture. The near-term focus for the BI is set to be maintaining stability in financial markets and monitoring the current account," it further said.
