soyabean89 :
mr_cashcow : Everything but my stocks keep rising
賺小小的日內 mr_cashcow: What did you buy
Ixy The Cat : Worryingly food prices have jumped up since the 1% gst hike to 8%. My regular box of cereal was $6 now $7.8. Govt should made food items 0 rated ie GST exempt. But they are greedy...
hello-chives : Hawker food price should raise, they are one of the most underpaid community given the relatively long hours and hard labour
toomanyscammers : I feel that sg inflation may not creep up more in 2024. in terms of food, daily living prices(excluding all those above price rise yea). my logic is based on how I feel that the prices for these items have already come down a little or rather, stopped increasing due to the demand and supply being better controlled. the supply jams from COVID I feel has eased, hence , I feel that exponential price increase we saw among commodities may drop. but I agree that interest rates among the banks will still edge higher. but if you are talking about inflation with regards to daily items like food increasing, -- which is diff from bank interest hike which I don't think is classified as 'inflation'? -- I feel, the prices might not increase or increase alot anyways
snoopy123 : Government monitoring businesses to stop them from using increased costs as excuse to profiteer: DPM Wong
and the fact that they have such a committee says it all...
https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/government-monitoring-businesses-stop-them-using-increased-costs-excuse-profiteer-dpm-wong-2269931
"Whether it's hawkers or other businesses, (they) may use these price increases as an excuse to profiteer, increase prices more than necessary," he said. "We have a committee set up against profiteering, we will continue to monitor against such behaviour."
The Committee Against Profiteering, chaired by Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling, was reconvened in 2022. It will ensure businesses will not use the Goods and Services Tax (GST) hikes as an __excuse__ to raise prices, and will focus on daily items commonly used or consumed by households in Singapore.
next year GST confirmed going up another 1%.. so prices (for everything) will have another "opportunity" to go up again..
