Supply prices rise 21.6% YoY in March on oil-driven gains

Meanwhile, the SMPPI rose 20.3%, led by a 54.3% increase in the oil index.

The Domestic Supply Price Index (DSPI) rose 21.6% year-on-year (YoY) in March, accelerating from a 2.4% increase in February, according to the Singapore Department of Statistics.

On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, the DSPI climbed 16.1%, after rising 3.7% in February.

The oil component surged 49.9% YoY and 60.4% MoM, whilst the non-oil component rose 12.2% and 3.5%, respectively, driven by higher prices of petroleum and related products.

Separately, the Singapore Manufactured Products Price Index (SMPPI) rose 20.3% YoY, up from 5.4% in February.

On a monthly basis, the index increased 11.2%, following a 3.9% rise in the previous month.

The oil index under SMPPI jumped 54.3% YoY and 61.0% MoM, supported by higher petroleum prices linked to the Middle East conflict, whilst the non-oil index rose 14.9% and 4.4%, respectively.

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.
