Singapore Dollar (SGD)
Singapore manages its dollar against a basket of trade-weighted currencies rather than against a single anchor, adjusting the slope and width of the band instead of setting a level. It is one of the few currencies run that way, and it explains why the dollar-resilient behaviour of a small economy can look surprisingly steady.

Where the Singapore Dollar circulates
The Singapore dollar also trades at par with the Brunei dollar, an arrangement that has held for decades and is worth knowing if you price into either market.
- Domestic and regional pricing in one of Asia's largest financial centres.
- Trade invoicing across Southeast Asia, where SGD is often the neutral choice.
- Interchangeability with the Brunei dollar at par in both countries.
How it is quoted, and what to watch
The band system means the currency can look unusually calm and then adjust in steps when policy changes. Treat a sudden sustained move as a policy event rather than a data anomaly.
Reading SGD from the API
Ask for SGD as the base and every quote in the response is re-expressed against it — the reading, the catalogue and the account balance all arrive together.
Crosses are the quotient of two published quotes, so a pair you need but we do not list is still one division away.

-H "Authorization: Bearer $FIAT_AGENT_KEY"SGD questions, answered
Is the Singapore dollar pegged?
Not to a single currency. It is managed against a trade-weighted basket, with the band's slope and width used as the policy levers.
Can I treat SGD and BND as the same?
They are interchangeable at par in both countries, but they are separate ISO codes with separate records. Store them separately.
