Abstract : As a small open economy, Singapore has frequently been exposed to the external shocks; and therefore flexible and
effective policies were required to not only stabilize the economy but also aid in the country's economic growth. This paper
draws upon related literature about macroeconomic policies and their role in the growth of the economy and aims to reflect the
relationship between economic growth relative to macroeconomic policies implemented by the authorities of Singapore
adopting ordinary least square (OLS) method and also uses annual time series data obtained from World Bank during 1991 to
2009. The result suggests that both monetary and fiscal policy have significant effect on economic growth. The coefficient of
fiscal policy is positive while monetary policy is negative which indicates that fiscal policy has more concerned with economic
growth than monetary policy in case of Singapore. However, the combinations of both fiscal and monetary policies are highly
recommended.
