COTD: Import prices rise 1.3% MoM in June

The oil index gained 6.3% MoM.

The Import Price Index increased 1.3% month on month in June 2025, following the 1.8% decrease in May.

The oil index gained 6.3% MoM, mainly due to higher prices of petroleum and products amidst the heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the Non-oil index remained unchanged during the month, following a 0.2% decrease in May.

Amongst the Non-Oil sub-indices, Chemicals & Chemical Products, Food & Live Animals, Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles, Manufactured Goods, and Animal & Vegetable Oils indices declined.

It was offset by increases in the Machinery & Transport Equipment, Crude Materials and Beverages & Tobacco indices.

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.
