Import, export price indices fall YoY in July 2025

The decrease in non-oil indices was due to the Machinery and Transport Equipment index

The prices of imports and exports declined in July 2025 compared to a year ago, according to the Department of Statistics Singapore (SingStat).

The Import Price Index fell 6.1% year-on-year (YoY) in July, extending the 6.4% decrease in June 2025. The oil index fell 17.7%, mainly due to lower prices of petroleum and products amid the oversupply of oil production, while the non-oil indices fell 2.4%.

For the Export Price Index, data showed it fell by 8.0% in July 2025 compared to a year ago, following the 7.9% decrease in June 2025.

The oil and non-oil indices decreased 16.6% and 5.9%, respectively.

Among the non-oil sub-indices, the decrease was due to the Machinery and Transport Equipment index, attributed to lower prices of electrical machinery apparatus.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
