Chart of the Day: Increase in food prices eases

Food prices show signs of easing in the first half of 2012, says the Retail Price Watch Group.

Retail Price Watch Group reported:

Singapore’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food has come down to 2.3 per cent in June from 3.8 per cent in January this year, compared to a year ago. The slower pace of food inflation has an impact on household expenditure as food expenses take up a considerable portion of each household’s monthly budget.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
