SINGAPORE: Singapore's key consumer price gauge rose 0.5% in March from a year earlier, official data showed on Wednesday, the lowest annual rate since 0.6% in June 2021.
The core inflation rate, which excludes private road transport and accommodation costs, was lower than a 0.7% forecast in a Reuters poll of economists. Headline inflation was 0.9% in annual terms in March, lower than the poll's forecast of 1.1%.
