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.

1 Operating revenue refers to receipts credited to the Consolidated Revenue Account and Development Fund Account,
but excludes interest income, investment income and capital receipts.
2 With effect from Apr 2010, Withholding Tax which was included in the figures reported under Personal Income Tax,
is reported separately. This item 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 has been removed for deaths occuring on and after 15 February 2008.
4 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.
5 With effect from March 2010, betting taxes include casino tax collected under Section 146 of the Casino Control Act.
6 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"
with effect from April 2009.
7 Other Receipts exclude repayment of loans and advances, interest income, investment income and capital receipts.

1 The weighting patterns of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was derived from the expenditure values collected from
the 2007/08 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. Given that it has no impact on the cash expenditure of most households in
Singapore as they already own their homes, All Items less imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation is compiled as an additional
indicator.
