Find out how Singapore housing caps the rise in inflation

It moderated following the disbursements of S&CC rebates.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, capping the rise in inflation was the “Housing” component which moderated following the disbursements of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates for HDB households in July 2013 whereby 1-room and 2-room HDB households received a 1-month rebate while 3-room, 4-room, 5-room and Executive/Multi-generation HDB households received a 0.5-month rebate. 

This is compounded by the softer rental market which saw cost of Accommodation moderating to +2.6% YoY in July 2013 from +4.8% YoY a month earlier.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
