SMU Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics (SKBI) released findings of the latest Singapore Index of Inflation Expectations (SInDEx) report it compiled, which indicated that Singapore consumers expect a higher rate of inflation than a quarter ago. SKBI Programme Director Aurobindo Ghosh said, “the rollout of expansionary monetary policies might have created a perception that ‘smart money’ will start flowing to financially and economically sound markets in Asia like Singapore”. He added that an expected influx of capital flows into Singapore may have led to the increase in both medium and long-term inflation expectations “particularly through the real estate sector”.
