An example of a behavioral bias that characterizes the behavior of central bankers is loss aversion: for every monetary policy choice losses loom larger than gains and both are evaluated with respect to the status quo. One result of loss aversion is that when gains and losses are symmetric or nearly so risk aversion may set in Loss aversion can be found in multiple contexts in monetary policy The "hard fought" battle against the Great Inflation for instance might cause a bias against policies that risk greater inflation. Another common finding in behavioral studies is that individuals regularly offer estimates of their own ability competence or judgments that far exceed an objective assessment: they are overconfident Central bank policymakers may fall victim to overconfidence in managing the macroeconomy in terms of timing magnitude and even the qualitative impact of interventions Overconfidence can result in actions of the central bank that are either "too little" or "too much" When policymakers believe their actions will have larger effects than objective analysis would indicate this results in too little intervention Overconfidence can for instance cause problems when relying on interest rates to gauge the stance of monetary policy: low rates might mean that policy is easy but they could also signal a weak economy, Singapore's total trade in 2014 amounted to S$982 billion Despite its small size Singapore is currently the fifteenth-largest trading partner of the United States in 2014 Singapore's imports totaled $464 billion and exports totalled $519 billion Malaysia was Singapore's main import source as well as its largest export market absorbing 18% of Singapore's exports with the United States close behind.

This is due to the optical properties of SO2 and sulfate aerosols which strongly absorb or scatter solar radiation creating a global layer of sulfuric acid haze. On average such eruptions occur several times per century and cause cooling (by partially blocking the transmission of solar radiation to the Earth's surface) for a period of several years. .
