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.

Note : a. Under the Open Bidding System, two bidding exercises would be held each month on alternate fortnights:
i) The first exercise will usually start on the first Monday of the month and end two days later on Wednesday;
ii) The second exercise will usually start on the third Monday of the month and end two days later on Wednesday.
If a public holiday falls within the three-day bidding exercise, the bidding period would be extended accordingly.
b. Prevailing quota premium (PQP) for existing vehicles is a moving average of the quota premiums over the last 3 months.
1. From Feb 2014 bidding exercise onwards, Category A will add a new engine power criterion of up to 97kW to the existing engine capacity
threshold of up to 1600cc.
2. Prior to Aug 2012, taxi operators can bid for a new COE or pay Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to register a taxi under Category A.
The latter is only in the case of a new taxi that replaces a deregistered one within 6 months. From 6 Aug 2012 onwards, all taxis pay for
COEs based on the PQP of Category A.

Note: Annual data refer to the Government's financial year, which begins on 1 April of the current year and ends on
31 March of the following year.
Figures may not add up due to rounding.
1 Operating Revenue excludes the repayment of loans and advances, interest income, investment income and capital receipts.
2 Refers to collections under Section 45 of the Income Tax Act, which is a withholding tax on locally-sourced income
earned by non-residents.
3 Estate duty, which is a tax on the total market value of a person's assets (cash and non-cash) at the date of his or her death,
has been removed for deaths occuring on and after 15 February 2008.
4 In Budget 2009, it was announced that Compressed Natural Gas ("CNG"), a substitutable for petrol, shall be subject
to fuel duty. A CNG unit duty will be introduced at $0.20 per kg with effect from January 2012 and the
industrial usage of CNG would be granted duty exemption.
5 Taxes on Motor Vehicles comprise additional registration fees, road tax, special tax on heavy-oil engines, passenger
vehicle seating fees and non-motor vehicle licences, but exclude excise duties on motor vehicles which are
classified under Customs and Excise Duties.
6 With effect from March 2010, betting taxes include casino tax collected under Section 146 of the Casino Control Act.
7 Others include the foreign worker levy, annual tonnage tax, water conservation tax and development charge.
To more accurately reflect the nature of "Development Charges (DC)" as a tax under section 35 of the Planning Act,
reporting of actual collection of DC has been reclassified from "Fees and Charges" to "Tax Revenue: Others"

Note: The Government's financial year begins on 1 April of the current year and ends on 31 March of the following year.
Presentation format of the table follows that of the National Summary Data Page (NSDP) for Singapore, which disseminates the data
prescribed by the International Monetary Funds Special Data Dissemination Standards (SDDS). Data in the table represent a broader definition
of Government revenues and receipts than what are permissible for Government spending as presented in each years Budget Statement.
This is because some revenues and receipts accrue to the Governments past reserves, which cannot be drawn on without the approval of the
President. The data has been revised to follow the latest IMF Government Financial Statistics Manual (GFSM), i.e., GFSM 2001, which is an
update from the previous GFSM 1986. Details on the differences in the reporting format for GFSM 2001 and GFSM 1986 can be found in

IMFs website http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/gfs/manual/aboutgfs.htm.


Does not reflect the fiscal position of the current term of government, as it takes into account land sales and capital receipts
(which accrue primarily to past reserves) in addition to taxes and other revenues, as well as land-related expenditure.
Data reflects the net issuance of Government securities and lending minus repayments.

1 The weighting pattern of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was derived from the expenditure values collected from
the 2007/8 Household Expenditure Survey (HES) and updated to 2009, taking into account price changes between 2007/8 and 2009.
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. Besides the imputed rentals on OOA, actual rentals paid on rented homes
are included separately under the CPI Accommodation subgroup. Given that imputed rentals on OOA have no impact on the
cash expenditure of most households in Singapore as they already own their homes, All Items less imputed rentals on OOA
is compiled as an additional indicator.

1 The weighting pattern of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was derived from the expenditure values collected from
the 2007/8 Household Expenditure Survey (HES) and updated to 2009, taking into account price changes between 2007/8 and 2009.
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. Besides the imputed rentals on OOA, actual rentals paid on rented homes
are included separately under the CPI Accommodation subgroup. Given that imputed rentals on OOA have no impact on the
cash expenditure of most households in Singapore as they already own their homes, All Items less imputed rentals on OOA
is compiled as an additional indicator.
