Singapore’s inflation rate remained in negative territory in June, although it inched up to -0.3 per cent from -0.4 per cent in May due to larger increases in the costs of services, food and private road transport. Singapore's annual consumer prices fell for the eighth straight month in June, an outcome that could give the central bank room to ease policy if economic growth disappoints.
