2025年8月,菲律宾的年通货膨胀率上升至1.5%,超过了市场预期的1.3%,高于上个月0.9%的五年半低点。最新数据为3月以来的最高水平,主要原因是食品和非酒精饮料价格上涨(7月份为0.9%对-0.2%)、家具、家用设备和日常家居维护价格上涨(2.4%对2.1%)以及健康价格上涨(2.9%对2.6%)。此外,运输成本下降速度较慢(-0.3%对-2%)。另一方面,服装和鞋类(1.7%对1.8%)、住房和公用事业(2.1%对2.2%)以及教育(2.9%对4.2%)的通货膨胀有所缓和。在7月份上涨0.3%之后,消费者价格指数环比上涨0.6%,为三个月来最强劲。与此同时,不包括某些食品和能源项目的核心通胀率从上一时期的2.3%上升至2.7%,为八个月来的最高水平。
The annual inflation rate in the Philippines rose to 1.5% in August 2025, surpassing market estimates of 1.3% and up from a more than five-and-a-half-year low of 0.9% in the previous month. The latest figure marked the highest reading since March, mainly driven by higher prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages (0.9% vs -0.2% in July), furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance (2.4% vs 2.1%), and health (2.9% vs 2.6%). Additionally, costs declined at a slower pace for transport (-0.3% vs -2%). On the other hand, inflation softened for clothing and footwear (1.7% vs 1.8%), housing and utilities (2.1% vs 2.2%), and education (2.9% vs 4.2%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.6%, the strongest in three months, following a 0.3% gain in July. Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes certain food and energy items, increased to 2.7%, the highest in eight months, from 2.3% in the preceding period.
