History
The history of the Singapore dollar is a fascinating journey that mirrors the city-state's remarkable economic transformation. Before independence, Singapore used the Straits dollar, introduced by the British Straits Settlements in 1845. After World War II and Japanese occupation, the British Malayan dollar was introduced in 1953, shared among Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo.
When Singapore merged with Malaysia in 1963, it used the Malaysian dollar. After separation from Malaysia in 1965 — one of history's rare involuntary independences — Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak formed a Currency Interchangeability Agreement with Malaysia, keeping a common currency until 1967, when Singapore issued its own dollar at par with the Malaysian ringgit.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), established in 1971, manages the Singapore dollar using an exchange rate-based monetary policy rather than interest rate targeting — unusual among advanced economies. The MAS manages the Singapore dollar's nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) within an undisclosed band against a basket of trading-partner currencies, adjusting the slope, width and centre of the band to maintain price stability.
This managed float system has been extraordinarily successful. The Singapore dollar has appreciated steadily against the US dollar since the 1970s — a deliberate policy to keep import prices low and control inflation in a trade-dependent city-state. Singapore's AAA credit rating and the MAS's credibility make the SGD one of the world's most trusted currencies.
