Chart of the Day: Headline consumer prices fell 0.74% YoY in April

This is the second straight month of deflation for the city-state.

This chart from UOB shows that Singapore’s inflation environment has eased further in April with headline consumer prices falling 0.74% YoY, marking its second straight month of deflation.

Meanwhile, core prices also fell by 0.3% YoY over the same period compared to the 0.2% YoY decline in March. This compares to market expectations for headline and core CPI to slip 0.5% YoY. Singapore’s headline inflation grew at an average of 0.1% in the first four months of 2020, down from 0.6% in the same period last year.

UOB expects a path of deflation for Singapore’s consumer prices in the year ahead with their official outlook for both headline and core inflation remaining unchanged at a range of between 1% fall and 0% for 2020.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
