The Philippines’ inflation rate eased to 1.5% in November 2025, down from 1.7% in October, and lower than 2.5% in the same month last year, the Philippine Statistics Authority reported.
The slowdown was mainly due to minimal price increases in food and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as slower inflation in alcohol, tobacco, household items, and personal care goods.
However, faster price growth was seen in housing, utilities, transport, recreation, and restaurants, which were among the top contributors to overall inflation.
Food inflation declined by 0.3% annually, driven by slower increases in vegetables, meat, dairy, and ready-made foods, although prices for seafood, oil, and cereals rose.
Core inflation, excluding food and energy, also eased to 2.4%, remaining below the government’s target range of 2% to 4%, signaling stable prices and economic resilience.
