The Singapore Department of Statistics has reported a 0.5% increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August 2025, compared to both the previous month and the same month in the previous year. This marks a steady rise in consumer prices, reflecting ongoing economic trends in the region.
The CPI is a crucial indicator of inflation, measuring the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for goods and services. The latest figures suggest a moderate inflationary trend, which could influence monetary policy decisions and consumer spending patterns in Singapore.
The Department of Statistics has made the detailed report available online, providing insights into the specific categories contributing to the CPI change. Interested parties can access this information through the SingStat Table Builder, a tool designed to facilitate the exploration of statistical data.
In addition to the CPI release, the Department has enhanced its SingStat Mobile App, offering new features to improve user experience. This app provides convenient access to Singapore’s statistical data, enabling users to stay informed about economic developments.
