ISTANBUL (AA) - Singapore’s annual inflation was at 5.7% in April, the Monetary Authority of Singapore said on Tuesday.

The annual inflation rate was 5.4% in April 2022, according to official data.

The authority said the annual rate of 5.7% "reflected higher inflation for services and private transport."

On a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.1%, stemming from the higher cost of holiday expenses, airfares and private transport costs.

The authority said that the annual inflation rates are projected to average 5.5-6.5% during 2023, but there are upside and downside risks related to global developments.
