Singapore’s headline inflation rose 0.8% YoY. Higher car prices, oil prices and costlier domestic services fees were the key drivers that drove headline inflation higher, UOB said.

In addition, there was a dip in accommodation and food inflation, thanks to the gradual decline in housing rentals and a smaller increase in the prices of prepared meals and non-cooked food items.
