Singapore's consumer price inflation accelerated in March to the highest level in one-and-a-half years amid rising private transport costs, data published by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Ministry of Trade and Industry showed on Thursday.
The consumer price index, or CPI, climbed 1.8 percent year-over-year in March, faster than February's increase of 1.2 percent.
Moreover, this was the highest inflation rate since September 2024, when prices rose 1.9 percent.
