Over the past three years, global inflation has shaken consumer confidence around the world, putting pressure on millions of people facing uncertainty due to prices of everyday goods and services seemingly spinning out of control.

Singaporeans were not spared the calamity, of course. Although the rate of inflation is currently back down to very low levels of under 1%, that doesn’t mean that prices have fallen. They simply stopped growing.

The question in this situation is: how quickly have earnings and disposable incomes in the economy grown to make these higher prices affordable again?

As it turns out, in the case of Singapore, very.

Happy like a Singaporean​

In the annual City Pulse 2025 report by the Gensler Research Institute, 59% of Singaporeans stated that it was unlikely or very unlikely for them to leave the city for greener pastures—the third highest percentage in the world, behind Taipei (64%) and Ho Chi Minh City (61%).

77% of Singaporeans are satisfied with their home and, most importantly in our context, around half say that the affordability of life in the city has improved over the past year.

This echoes the findings of a more robust and ongoing domestic survey of sociopolitical sentiments in Singapore, carried out by Blackbox Research.

Similar to Gensler Institute’s results, it shows that 52% of Singaporeans approve of the government’s handling of the cost of living crisis—up from just 27% in September of 2023.

Even more Singaporeans are pleased with how the rising housing costs have been addressed, with close to 60% happy with the government’s performance in 2025, up from under 40% less than two years ago.

Not even GST is a problem anymore​

The contentious GST increases, executed in 2023 and 2024, were originally met with negative responses, but as time has gone by, with the government announcing new measures to ease the pain on regular consumers, Singaporeans have grown to accept the new reality.


From just one-third a little over a year ago, more than half of the society now approves of how the GST increases were handled, following generous relief packages handed out by the government while maintaining budgetary surpluses.

In total, over 79% of respondents are satisfied with their financial situation, and a whopping 84% have rated economic conditions positively this April.

What’s more, 56% of Singaporeans expect to be better off financially this time next year, while just 15% think otherwise.

All in all, sentiments in the society have received a massive boost in the past 20 months—shifting from deep uncertainty caused by rampant inflation, to satisfaction and optimism looking ahead towards 2026.

While the cost of living remains the most important issue for about 40% of the society, that figure is down from nearly 60% in late 2023, indicating that a majority of Singaporeans feel they are finally in the clear when it comes to financial woes.

Singapore’s economy grew 3.9 per cent in Q1, but don’t be fooled by the headline number as more Singaporeans could be leaning on their savings in the coming days. Is your rainy day fund feeling the strain? (Photo: ROSLAN RAHMAN/AFP via Getty Images) (ROSLAN RAHMAN via Getty Images)More
Singapore’s economy may have started the year strong on paper, but rising costs and job worries may be pushing many households to crack open their savings jars more often.

Q1 2025 saw 3.9 per cent growth year-on-year, but behind the headline lies a quarterly GDP contraction of 0.6 per cent – a sign that the good times might not last. And with warnings of a technical recession if the slide continues, more Singaporeans may be asking: will our savings hold out?

the best is.................66% of Sinkies depleted their savings by 70%................
