SINGAPORE: Singapore’s core inflation eased more than expected in March as prices of food and services rose at a slower pace, with overall inflation dropping to a 2½-year low.
Core inflation – which excludes private accommodation and transport costs to better represent the expenses of Singapore households – fell to 3.1% year on year in March.
