Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements in this weekly podcast. 

The Straits Times' Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at The Straits Times, speaks with Money FM 89.3's Timothy Goh.

In this week's episode, they analyse January’s core inflation that rose to 2.4 per cent year on year, the highest since September 2012, driven by price increases for food, electricity and gas.

With the Russia-Ukraine conflict triggering a surge in commodity and petrol costs worldwide, how will these developments affect people in Singapore?
