core inflation will be “significantly above its historical average through the year” and could continue to rise “in the coming months” before retreating towards the year-end - cutting back on spending for many and watching your dollar

This is its highest level since early 2012.That’s even as the headline inflation print was stable on the month before at 5.4 percent – and a shade under the median estimate of 5.6 percent in a Bloomberg poll– as the growth in private transport costs eased on a smaller increase in car prices.Still, private transport expenses were up by 18.3 percent in April, against 21.5 percent in March, while accommodation costs rose by 3.9 percent year on year in April, compared with 3.5 percent in March, on higher rents.Private transport and accommodation inflation are expected to stay firm in the near term, according to projections from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).The rising price of food continued to drive inflation in April, with costs higher by 4.1 percent year on year, up from 3.3 percent in March.The MAS and MTI noted that “the prices of both non-cooked food and food services rose at a faster pace”. The price of oils and fats was up by 9.9 percent in April; milk, cheese and eggs by 6.7 percent; meat by 5.7 percent; and fish and seafood by 5.6 percent. Hawker fare was up by 4.2 percent, and restaurant food, by 3.8 percent.Inflation in retail and other goods picked up to 1.6 percent, from 0.4 percent in March – attributed to an increase in apparel prices. Clothes cost 1.7 percent more year on year.Electricity and gas prices grew by a steeper 19.7 percent in April, compared with 17.8 percent in March, as household electricity and gas tariffs went up in the second quarter. Meanwhile, services inflation was 2.5 percent in April, against 2.6 percent in March, which was attributed to the relaxation of Covid-19 test requirements for travel.The MAS and MTI reiterated in their latest joint statement that core inflation will be “significantly above its historical average through the year” and could continue to rise “in the coming months” before retreating towards the year-end.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong recently told Japanese media outlet Nikkei that, even as central bankers worldwide work to tackle rising inflation, “there is a considerable risk of doing what you need to do but as a result, provoking a recession”.The official forecast is for core inflation of between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent in 2022, and for headline inflation of between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9026937434,"gmtCreate":1653311863928,"gmtModify":1676535258076,"author":{"id":"3574713327400822","authorId":"3574713327400822","name":"RichyRick","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b86ee481aaeabbd2348ddf829e3a56fe","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574713327400822","authorIdStr":"3574713327400822"},"htmlText":"The
