Singapore consumer prices for general households rose by 1.3% in the first half of 2006, compared with the same period of 2005. For households in the lowest 20% and middle 60% income groups, the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 2.2% and 1.4% respectively, the Department of Statistics said in a statement.

Main items responsible for the 2.2% CPI increase for the lowest 20% income group were electricity tariffs and food. The highest 20% income group experienced 0.7% inflation, due to lower car prices and reduced government levy on foreign maids.
