Singapore

Economic Highlights




Singapore's consumer price index (CPI) eased further to 1.2% y-o-y in July from +1.8% in June and +2.7% in May. The number came in lower than consensus expectation of +1.8%. The decline in inflation rate was mostly due to cheaper transportation cost that arose from the correction in the certificate of entitlement (COE) premiums in July that offset the increase in petrol pump prices.
