Chart of the Day: How Singaporeans abate inflation impact

Around 35% are reducing out-of-home dining/restaurants.

Around four in five Southeast Asians said the inflated-related issue is their biggest financial challenge currently, they worry about rising prices and everyday concerns, according to a report by Blackbox-ADNA.

This chart from the Inflation & Shopping in the Digital Age study showed the steps taken by Southeast Asia countries to counter the impact of inflation on their daily lives. Cutting back on out-of-home dining/restaurants is the top measure taken by Singaporeans in the last six months at 35%.

This is followed by eating cheaper meals at home (27%), buying more items at a discount (23%), and cutting back on food delivery at home (20%).

Some are also using less electricity at home (12%), driving a car less frequently (7%), and purchasing from cheaper brands (5%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
