Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian (4pm - 7pm)

Market View: How will Singapore overcome the current strike of the rising inflation moving to the end of 2023?

Singapore imports more than 90% of its food, yet less than 1% comes from the Middle East.

Despite this, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu has warned that ongoing conflicts could still drive up food prices through disruptions to global shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Associate Professor Goh Puay Guan from the National University of Singapore Business School, about how these global pressures are shaping food prices in Singapore.
