Singapore Inflation Rate (1961–2025)

Overview

Singapore's inflation rate stood at 0.93% in 2025, a decline of +1.46pp from 2024. The IMF projects 0.93% by 2025. Singapore ranked 168th globally.

Singapore's inflation rate has demonstrated remarkable stability over the past 65 years, with fluctuations largely contained within a narrow margin. At its all-time peak in 1974, the inflation rate soared to 22.37%, a stark contrast to the current rate of 0.93%, which ranks 168 globally. The country's inflation rate has been trending downward since 1976, when it hit an all-time trough of -1.84%, a testament to Singapore's commitment to maintaining price stability. Compared to its peers, Côte d'Ivoire's inflation rate of 1.00% is the closest, while Oman's rate of 0.90% is nearly as low. With continued economic growth and prudent monetary policy, it is likely that Singapore's inflation rate will remain low in the coming years. However, a potential increase in global commodity prices or domestic economic shocks could alter this trajectory and push the inflation rate upwards.
