Singapore's domestic supply price increased 7% in 2017

This was highly driven by a 29.4% increase in oil prices.

Singapore’s National Statistics Office reported that Singapore’s domestic supply price index increased by 7% YoY in 2017, from a 6.9% decline in 2016.

Higher prices of oil (29.4%), chemicals and chemical products (5.7%), manufactured goods (3.8%), animal and vegetable oils (2.4%), food and live animals (1.9%), and miscellaneous manufactured articles (0.6%) were partially offset by a decline in prices of beverages and tobacco (-1.7%), machinery and transport equipment (-1%), and crude materials (-0.9%).

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.
