- Businesses: paying Indonesian invoices in IDR could see slight increases in transfer costs if the pair remains supported by risk-off conditions.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The rate gap remains uncertain but the risk-off environment favors a weaker Singapore Dollar.
- Risk/commodities: Safe-haven flows are supported by global risk aversion, pressuring EMFX including SGD/IDR.
- Global factors: Risk sentiment is pressured by global safe-haven buying and domestic IDR inflation concerns.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift towards risk appetite could strengthen the SGD, improving the pair.
- Downside risk: Persistent risk-off sentiment or safe-haven demand may keep the pair supported or lead to further weakness.
BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margins among FX providers to help offset less favourable exchange conditions.
