Singapore Post will hike domestic postage rates by 65% next month as it grapples with escalating costs of maintaining the postal service and declining mail volumes.

The standard regular mail rate will be increased to S$0.51 ($0.37) from S$0.31 effective Oct. 9, the company said in a stock exchange filing Bloomberg TerminalTuesday.
