HAWKER PRICES REMAIN GENERALLY STABLE

Committee Against GST Profiteering (CAP) provides update on hawker prices and feedback received. The latest Department of Statistics (DOS) survey on hawker food prices from 21 Jul to 3 Aug showed a drop in the number of hawkers raising prices. Compared to the preceding two weeks (7 - 20 Jul) when 3.8% of hawkers increased prices, the latest survey showed 0.9% of hawkers raising prices. This continues the general downtrend observed in the past month. CAP is encouraged by the findings, and urges hawker stalls to continue to keep prices stable and not attempt to profiteer from the GST increase. DOS will continue to monitor hawker prices closely.
