They still are so blind to see how they are singlely-responsible for having singaporeans left behind in their retirements and old age. UTTER IRRESPONSIBLE! Where is their conscience when they go to sleep at night not thinking about how pple will have sufficient to catch up...instead they kept upping the ante of minimum sum and DDAge. <br />How much is in the GIC reserves 300-400 billions and we can't spare some change for the people?!!!! <br /><br />Makes you wonder, are the reserves there in the first place (comfortably) or why are we in such mad rush to keep making up for more reserves?!! To make up for the losses?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-22127462504846746612011-06-23T13:08:55.944+08:002011-06-23T13:08:55.944+08:00When interest rates go up, it will be glass empty ...When interest rates go up, it will be glass empty situation for BOTH borrowers and savers. Remember, MAS manages S'pore monetary policy not by interest rate, but by exchange rate. So the SOR, board rates and overall lending interest rates will go up, but the deposit interest rates will remain stagnant. E.g. if lending rates go up 100%, deposit rates go up at most 10%.<br /><br />This can be seen from 2003-2007. The safest mortgage rate went from less than 1% to 4%. But deposit rates never went beyond 0.5% FD rates also barely hit 1.5%. Savers had to beg, bargain and cajole bank officers to get half-decent FD rates. Better to save your money in money market funds -- at least you get honest rate of returns that accurately reflect the actual interest rate environment.<br /><br />Even CPF promulgated this S'pore bankster scam by linking CPF rate to FD rates. That's why we're still getting the same 2.5% for over 10 years already, even when inflation is over 5% and will probably hit over 6% this year, just like in mid-2008.<br /><br />CPF is effectively working hand-in-glove with banksters and property tycoons by jacking up property prices and encouraging asset price inflation. Ordinary man-in-the-street will be tempted or forced to speculate in properties and other risk assets in order to get higher returns, instead of leaving their money to rot in low-interest savings deposits and CPF account which cannot even match inflation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-69716649807857206682011-06-23T10:47:01.894+08:002011-06-23T10:47:01.894+08:00Even with that kind of warning, what is MAS going...Even with that kind of warning, what is MAS going to do if our banks decide to increase the lending rates generously but not their deposit interest rates ? Afterall our mercenary banks have a lot of tricks up their sleeve when it comes to fleecing their customers.<br /><br />Talking about tricks, Sim Lian must have learned the trick from HDB to give their prospective customers a market subsidy of up to S$102K to make their DBSS Centrale 8 units more 'affordable'. Which means their shareholders will also receive a subsidy on their dividends eventually if there is any. <br /><br />Just wondering among the 2 who is more greedy, Sim Lian or HDB ?Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-81609441819815196702011-06-23T10:41:24.054+08:002011-06-23T10:41:24.054+08:00Another Madoff to add to pro-asset inflation polic...Another Madoff to add to pro-asset inflation policies of last 15 years.
