Private transport costs to drive inflation higher in 2013

CPI dipping to 3.6% may not help.

According to Nomura, headline CPI declined to 3.6% from 4.3% y-y in Dec, largely on account of the lower food and housing components, which offset a higher transportation component.

Core inflation, an important determinant of the MAS’s monetary policy, eased to just 1.2% y-y (from 1.9% in Dec).

"Inflation is expected to remain elevated in 2013F, led by private transport and accommodation cost with the underlying inflation remaining sticky due to tight labour markets and wage pressure," Nomura said.

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.
