24-Jun-2026

Singapore’s inflation rate remained unchanged at 1.8 per cent in May, coming in below economists’ expectations of 2 per cent. The latest reading matched April’s figure and showed a mixed trend in prices across different sectors of the economy. Core inflation, which excludes accommodation and private transport costs, also stayed steady at 1.4 per cent in May. This was lower than the 1.6 per cent forecast by economists surveyed by Reuters.
