Inflation may have reached 4.3% in January 2011: DBS

After the recent upward revision by the MAS in its inflation forecast to 3.0-4.0%, all eyes will be on the inflation reading due today.

According to DBS, a slightly lower reading of 4.3% as compared to 4.6% in the previous month has been penciled into their forecast.

The MAS has pointed out that domestic inflation is largely driven by the high COE prices as well as higher accommodation costs. And that explains its decision to keep its core inflation forecast to 2.0-3.0%.

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.
