Singapore's headline consumer price inflation was unchanged in September, while the core figure eased, preliminary data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Monetary Authority of Singapore showed on Tuesday.

A smaller decline in accommodation costs and higher services inflation was offset by lower retail inflation, the MAS said.
