Ver bad news for the 400,000 poor families with total gross monthly household per capita income of $1,125 or less. Inflation always hit the low income hardest. No wonder mental stress and illnesses is on an uptrend.

Core inflation in Singapore rose by the fastest pace in more than two years in August, lifted by higher food prices and a smaller decline in the cost of retail and other goods.\nCore inflation, which excludes accommodation and private road transport costs, rose to 1.1 per cent on a year-on-year basis last month, up from 1 per cent in July, partly due to low base effects. This was the highest increase since the key indicator hit 1.2 per cent in June 2019.\nMeanwhile, overall inflation eased slightly to 2.4 per cent, from 2.5 per cent in July, slightly above the average estimate of economists polled by Bloomberg.\nThe moderation reflected lower private transport inflation, which more than offset the rise in core inflation, said the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) on Thursday (Sept 23).\nPrivate transport costs rose at a slower pace of 10.8 per cent year-on-year, compared with 12.6 per cent in July, largely due to a smaller increase in car prices and decline in other private transport services costs.\nServices inflation edged down to 1.2 per cent in August, compared with 1.3 per cent in July, mostly because of a steeper fall in telecommunication services fees.\nElectricity and gas costs also rose at a slower pace - at 9.7 per cent - in August, down from 9.9 per cent the previous month, due to a smaller increase in gas prices.\nHowever, accommodation inflation rose to 1.7 per cent, compared with 1.4 per cent in July, in line with the stronger pickup in housing rents.\nFood inflation also climbed - to 1.5 per cent - in August, from 1.1 per cent in July, as the prices of non-cooked food and prepared meals saw larger increases.\nThe higher costs of non-cooked food was mainly due to a steeper increase in the cost of fruits.\nThe cost of retail and other goods fell at a more gradual pace of 1 per cent, compared with the 1.2 per cent decline in July, reflecting higher inflation for personal items and a smaller decline in the cost of personal care products.\nIn their statement, the MAS and MTI noted that external inflation has remained elevated but has shown signs of moderating as base effects fade: \"Upward pressures on global inflation should ease further over the course of the year.\nCrude oil prices have declined recently due to concerns over the prospects for the global economy amid the spread of the more contagious Delta variant, they added.\nMAS and MTI said: \"The supply-demand mismatches in some goods markets, as well as bottlenecks in global transportation, are mainly transitory and should ease with the gradual recovery in production and logistics services.\nSpare capacity in some of Singapore's key trading partners should help to moderate overall import price inflation this year, they added.","kind":"news","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":863680218,"gmtCreate":1632385500334,"gmtModify":1676530769276,"author":{"id":"3561596430587504","authorId":"3561596430587504","name":"robot1234","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3561596430587504","idStr":"3561596430587504"},"htmlText":"Ver bad news for the 400,000 poor families with&nbsp;total gross monthly household per capita income of&nbsp;$1,125 or less.
