Car and petrol prices softened.

After three consecutive months of close to +7.0% increase, private road transport costs slowed to +6.1% in May.

The chart shows how certificate of entitlement premiums also affected private road transport inflation. Latest figures show COE premiums slowed by around YoY. 2%.

Meanwhile, services inflation also moderated to 1.4%, versus 1.7% in April, which MAS attributed to a fall in holiday expenses and air fares.
