flag Philippine inflation rose to 1.8% in October 2025, driven by typhoons, a weak peso, and higher energy costs, but stayed below the central bank’s 2% target.

flag Philippine inflation likely rose slightly to 1.8% in October 2025, driven by higher food, fuel, and electricity prices due to typhoon disruptions, a weaker peso, and utility rate hikes, though it remained below the central bank’s 2% target for the eighth straight month. flag Despite a continued rice import ban, lower meat, fruit, and oil prices helped limit the increase. flag Core inflation stayed elevated at 2.6%, reflecting persistent wage and service cost pressures. flag The peso hit a record low of P59.13 per dollar, but is expected to stabilize near P58.2 by year-end. flag Analysts anticipate further rate cuts in December and early 2026 if growth remains weak, though inflation risks may return later in 2026.
