PREFACE Archival records showed that monthly indicators on Singapore were available as far back as 1932 under different publication titles. Since January 1962, a consolidated volume was published under the title of The Monthly Digest of Statistics. This present publication contains a wide range of current statistical information on the Singapore economy and society. Monthly or quarterly data for most series are presented for the latest six time periods. Annual figures for the past two years are also included wherever possible. The contents of the Monthly Digest are continually reviewed. Additional data series of interest are included as and when appropriate. Revisions and improvements made to current series of data are also reflected in the latest editions of the publication.

In addition to this Monthly Digest, the Department disseminates official statistics on Singapore through a variety of electronic services. These include the Statistics Singapore Website, SingStat Time Series Online and SingStat Express. Internet users can access the latest issue of the Monthly Digest via the SingStat website. For users who have specific data needs, the Department's Statistical Information Services offers personalized assistance on cost-recovery basis. The data series in the Monthly Digest are compiled by the Singapore Department of Statistics, other government departments and statutory boards and private organisations. I would like to express my appreciation to all the organisations that have contributed to the publication. Wong Wee Kim Chief Statistician Singapore

2 A significant share of the CPI Accommodation subgroup is “owner-occupied accommodation (OOA) cost”, which is computed based on the imputed rental concept under the rental equivalence method. Given that it has no impact on the cash expenditure of most households in Singapore as they already own their homes, “All Items less imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation” is compiled as an additional indicator.
