Services fees up 0.2% in December

There was a sharp increase in costs of household services.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Ministry of Trade and Industry reported, “The cut in telecommunication charges was more than offset by sharper increases in the costs of household services and overseas travel. As a result, overall services fees rose by 0.2%.”

Meanwhile CPI-All Items rose by 0.7% in December 2012 following an increase of 0.1% in November.

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.
