Abstract: Financial risks are ubiquitous, from Wall Street to ordinary enterprises. Financial quantification is of great importance. Through the case analysis of China National Aviation Fuel Group Corporation, it is evident that financial quantification plays a crucial role in enterprise development. The Monetary Authority of Singapore’s macroeconomic regulation strategies include the following measures: implementing monetary policy to maintain price stability and promote sustainable economic development; using a basket of currencies to control the S$NEER within the policy range; controlling the domestic currency exchange rate within an undisclosed fluctuation band to prevent imported inflation.
