Singapore inflation rises but to remain "largely contained" till end-2013

Slight pick-up in July not worrisome.

According to BBVA, Singapore headline inflation edged up to 1.9% y/y in July from 1.8% y/y in June, below market expectations (2.1% y/y) as higher private road transport costs due to the introduction of an emissions-related surcharge drove the increase.

"We expect inflationary pressure in Singapore to remain largely contained through the remainder of this year, which should enable the MAS to maintain a supportive monetary stance at its next policy meeting in October," reckoned BBVA.

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.
