SINGAPORE: Singapore's key consumer price gauge rose 2.1% in October from a year earlier, lower than economists' forecasts and the smallest rise in almost three years, official data showed on Monday.
The core inflation rate, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, compared with a forecast of 2.5% in a Reuters poll of economists and September's rate of 2.8%.
