ITM lays the blueprint of strategies and initiatives to further strengthen Singapore's position as a regional financial hub. "The domestic labour market is tight and some pickup in consumer services inflation is to be expected. Mr Menon said MAS has updated the financial services industry transformation map (ITM) for the period 2021-25 and will launch it in a couple of months. Tighter financial conditions, coupled with a squeeze on real incomes as a result of rising prices, will drag on growth, Mr Menon said, adding that it is difficult to estimate the extent of the growth slowdown next year given the complex interplay of multiple factors. MAS managing director Ravi Menon said on Tuesday that core inflation is projected to increase to a peak of 4 per cent to 4.5 per cent in the third quarter this year before levelling off to 3.5 per cent to 4 per cent by year end, much higher than what Singapore is used to. As a result of the loss, MAS did not contribute to Singapore's consolidated fund, out of which government expenditure is made, for the financial year.
