Executive Secretary Ralph Recto credited President Marcos’ economic policies for keeping inflation low and protecting poor Filipino families in 2025.
Inflation fell to 1.6 percent from January to November, down from 3.4 percent in 2024, helping households maintain purchasing power, particularly for rice.
Price stabilization efforts lowered inflation for the bottom 30 percent of income households to -0.2 percent in November, marking six consecutive months of contraction.
Recto said stable prices and strong growth boosted investor confidence, with S&P reaffirming the Philippines’ BBB+ rating and multilateral institutions projecting 5–5.1 percent GDP growth.
The low inflation and robust economy are expected to support domestic consumption, economic activity, and position the Philippines among the fastest-growing economies in ASEAN by 2026.
