Reference: Singapore Department of Statistics (SingStat), Consumer Price Index (CPI). For the latest official figures see SingStat CPI data and the MAS Consumer Price Developments. The 2025 CPI-All Items average was about 0.9 percent, and the MAS forecast for 2026 (as of April 2026) is a range of 1.5 to 2.5 percent. A long run planning assumption near 2 percent is common, but you should edit the rate to suit your own view.
