Monetary Policy Statement
(MPS) aims to inform the general public, local and overseas, of the
outlook for monetary policy for the financial year ahead. And, in line
with Government's emphasis on transparency and accountability, the MPS
aims to disclose and explain to the public the main monetary policy
objectives and targets that will be pursued by the Central Bank in the
financial year ahead. A Monetary Policy Statement is compiled and issued
at the beginning of each financial year. The first MPS was issued for
the financial year ending June, 2001. |
