SINGAPORE - The Singapore dollar could continue to appreciate modestly against regional currencies in 2026, which is a good sign for Singaporeans looking to travel overseas.

Speaking at an investment seminar for OCBC’s private clients on Jan 6, the bank’s chief economist Selena Ling said the low inflation seen in 2025 may creep up slightly in 2026, but there is no urgency for the Monetary Authority of Singapore to change its policy stance of allowing the Singdollar to gently appreciate.
