## Resource

Singapore’s inflation cooled to 1.8% in April—below forecasts—thanks to slower service and retail price hikes, but economists warn imported inflation could spike due to global energy and production costs. Meanwhile, the economy surged with revised Q1 GDP growth hitting 6%, fueling optimism. The Monetary Authority of Singapore, which manages its currency via a fixed exchange rate basket rather than interest rates, tightened policy earlier this year to combat inflation. While current numbers offer relief, officials project 2026 inflation to stay between 1.5% and 2.5%, keeping a wary eye on future global pressures.
