SINGAPORE: Singapore's consumer price index (CPI) in March went up by 6.7 percent from a year ago.

The Department of Statistics said the rise was due largely to higher costs of food, transport and communication, and housing.

The CPI for the first quarter of this year was 6.6 percent higher compared with the same quarter of previous year.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI in March was 0.3% higher compared with February.

Singapore's inflation rate has been hovering at its highest level in 26 years.

Earlier this month, Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang said the inflation rate is expected to go down in the second half of this year.

The government's forecast for inflation this year ranges between 4.5 percent and 5.5 percent.
