Singapore Inflation Is BACK! Core Inflation Hits Highest in Nearly 2 Years 🚨 Singapore inflation is rising again — and the latest numbers deserve attention. MAS Core Inflation has climbed to 2.2% in August 2026, up from 2.0% in July and just 0.3% one year ago. That makes it the highest core inflation reading since September 2024. But this isn’t just about one number. In this video, I break down: 🔥 Why Singapore inflation is accelerating again ⚡ Why electricity & gas inflation is running at 8.7% 🍜 Why food, services and retail inflation are also rising 🌎 Why global energy, food and supply-chain pressures could keep inflation elevated 🇸🇬 Why higher inflation could put upward pressure on the Singapore dollar 🏢 Why higher global interest rates could hurt S-REITs 🏠 What inflation could mean for Singapore property 📈 The big battle for financial markets: AI BOOM vs INFLATION 💰 And most importantly — what ordinary Singaporeans can do to protect their purchasing power There is also a strange situation developing: The economic boom may be concentrated in selected sectors — but inflation doesn’t care which sector you work in. You don’t have to participate in the boom to experience the inflation. Watch till the end because this isn’t simply a cost-of-living story. Inflation can reprice currencies, bonds, REITs, property and stocks — and change the investment landscape. #SingaporeInflation #Inflation #SingaporeEconomy #MAS #SingaporeDollar #SGD #SREITs #REITs #SingaporeProperty #InterestRates #StockMarket #Investing #PersonalFinance #AI #AIBoom #1M65...
