Inflation Eases to 4.0% in August
The rate of price increase eased to 4.0% in August 2023, data from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) showed. In July 2023, inflation was at 4.1%. The moderation of the headline or consumer price index (CPI)-all items inflation was due to the lower core (3.4% YoY from 3.8% YoY) and accommodation (4.4% YoY from 4.6% YoY) inflation.
Singapore prime office rents weaken in Q3, outlook mixed
Grade A office rents in Singapore's central business district (CBD) fell 0.3 per cent quarter on quarter in the third quarter, as demand for office space softened with economic uncertainty, according to a report by JLL Singapore. Prime office rents weakened to S$11.29 per square foot (psf) per month from S$11.32 psf per month, ending nine straight quarters of growth spurred by the post-pandemic return-to-office wave, JLL said on Monday (Sep 25).
