In Response to a Steady Fed, Southeast Asia Adjusts Rates to Safeguard Currencies As 2024 unfolds, the anticipation that the U.S. Federal Reserve might reduce interest rates has waned.

This cautious approach by the Fed is not just a concern for analysts and investors. Central bankers globally, particularly in Southeast Asia, are scrutinizing the Fed’s moves closely.
