Bread Index vs Food Index
choongyong.koh November 28th, 2007
The Department of Statistics replied (clipclip link) to a Straits Time forum post, citing figures that the overall food index has risen 4.6% over that in 2006. Compare this with the informal “Bread Index” my friend lowen blogged about.
Decide for yourself, which figure is closer to your actual experiences in paying for food over the last few months?


I swear the food price has gone up crazy. In food court and everywhere else. 4.6%? No way.
