SINGAPORE, Nov 23 (Reuters) – Singapore’s key consumer price gauge was at 3.3% in
October on a yearly basis, higher than economists’ forecasts, official data showed on Thursday.
The core inflation rate – which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs –
was slightly above the 3.0% forecasted by a Reuters poll of economists and compared with 3.0% in
September.
Headline inflation in October was at 4.7% compared with the same month last year, also
higher than economists’ forecast of 4.45%.
