[SINGAPORE] The majority of Singaporeans expect headline inflation to rise slightly in 2026 as a result of global trade policies, the Singapore Index of Inflation Expectations survey released on Tuesday (Jan 20) showed. The percentage of Singaporeans anticipating higher inflation in the year ahead rose to 83.4 in the December 2025 iteration of the quarterly online survey. That marked an increase from the 47.5 per cent recorded in the previous quarter’s survey. The survey polled around 500 individuals representing a cross-section of Singaporean households. Conducted on behalf of the Singapore Management University (SMU) and partly funded by DBS, it is a collaboration between DBS Group Research and SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/singaporeans-expect-inflation-increase-slightly-2026-amid-trade-uncertainties-survey (ICE SINGAPORE)
