The Monetary Authority of Singapore is set to release its latest Macroeconomic Review on 28 April 2025 at 12 noon via its website. Prior to this public release, a background briefing for the media will be held at the MAS Building, featuring remarks from MAS Chief Economist Edward Robinson. This briefing, scheduled from 10.00 am to 11.00 am, will not be open for recording or reporting, ensuring that discussions remain confidential.
The briefing will provide media representatives with a draft soft copy of the Macroeconomic Review and briefing slides on an embargoed basis at 6.00 pm on 25 April 2025. Notably, the Review will now include a “Key Messages” section, replacing the previous media guide and infographics. The contents of the Review will remain embargoed until the official release time.
In a shift from previous practices, the Macroeconomic Review will now be published quarterly, and briefing slides will be circulated to the media ahead of the briefing. However, there will be no presentation of the slide deck during the briefing itself. Further details regarding the July publication and briefing will be announced closer to the date.
Media personnel interested in attending the briefing must register by 12 noon on 25 April 2025, providing their full name, NRIC or passport number, and mobile number. This change in the release schedule and briefing format marks a new approach by MAS in disseminating its economic insights.
