THOUGH inflation in Singapore has slowed in the past year and is expected to cool further in 2024, getting it back to historical levels will be tough, said economists.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) deems current monetary policy settings “appropriate” and opted to stand pat on Monday (Jan 29) at the first review of its new quarterly schedule.
