Singapore policy settings remain appropriate, MAS official says

SINGAPORE, May 23 (Reuters) - Singapore's current policy stance remains appropriate to contain imported inflation and domestic cost pressures, Edward Robinson, deputy managing director at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, told reporters.

Robinson was speaking after the release of data showing Singapore's economy grew an annual 2.7 percent in the first quarter. (Reporting by Xinghui Kok; Editing by John Mair)
