  "summary": "Singapore's core inflation eased to 2% year-on-year in September, falling from 2.2% in August, according to official figures released on Friday (Oct 23). This decline was primarily due to lower inflation in services, retail, and other goods, as well as private transport, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry (METI). Core prices, which exclude accommodation and private transport, rose by 0.1% month-on-month in September, while overall inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index-All Items, fell to 2.2% year-on-year in September from 2.3% in August.",
