SINGAPORE - SINGAPORE'S consumer prices rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6 per cent in November from October when prices climbed 1.3 per cent.
From a year earlier, prices rose 4.2 per cent from a 16-year high seen in October, the Department of Statistics said in a statement on Monday.
Economists had expected monthly consumer prices to rise in November, reflecting higher food prices and transport costs due to high energy and commodity prices.
A sub-index for housing costs was up 2.9 per cent in November from a year ago while food prices, which carry the largest weighting in the index, rose 5.2 per cent.
The statement does not include seasonally adjusted figures for the sub-indices. -- REUTERS
