>SINGAPORE private home prices rose a slower 6.8 percent in the October-December from the previous quarter, reflecting rising economic uncertainties and the effect of measures to cool the property market.
The price index for private home sold, a gauge of profitability for property firms and an indicator of inflation already at 25-year highs, rose 8.3 per cent in the previous quarter bringing prices to their highest levels in a decade.
Private home prices rose 31.2 per cent in the whole of 2007, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said on Friday.
