Key findings from the report include Singapore's position as the most expensive country in Southeast Asia, with a cost of living index of 85.9. The analysis also highlights significant increases in property and rental costs, with average HDB flat prices reaching $532,768 and private houses averaging $2,080,533. Despite these high costs, the report notes that Singapore maintains a high quality of life, supported by rising incomes and government initiatives.

The report also provides comparisons with other Southeast Asian countries, offering context for Singapore's economic position within the region.
