Food price inflation threatens Singapore

10 per cent of the headline CPI in 2010 was contributed by food prices and it is one of the main drivers of the high CPI inflation.

According to Moody's Analytics, structural food price inflation can quickly spill over into broader price pressures, dislodging expectations, prompting increased wage demands, and degenerating into a growth-sapping wage-price spiral.

Policymakers cannot ignore food price inflation as a transitory supply-side phenomenon.

Food security is a primary reason countries are setting up foreign food banks. Singapore’s purchase of a large area on China’s northern coastline is for the sole purpose of producing food to export to Singapore.

Monetary policy has a role to play in tempering food price inflation pressures, particularly in preventing elevated food prices from spilling over into broader inflationary pressures.

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.
