In a significant development for the Philippine economy, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has continued its downward trajectory, with the annual inflation rate slowing to 1.5% in November 2025. This marks a decline from the 1.7% recorded in October, according to the latest figures released on December 5, 2025.

The current indicator reflects a comparison against the same period last year, demonstrating a continued easing of inflationary pressures in the nation. This was a meaningful dip from the previous month's year-over-year figures and highlights an ongoing trend of decreased inflation as the country aims to stabilize the cost of living.

Economic analysts suggest that this decline in the CPI might offer some relief to consumers, as lower inflation rates typically enhance purchasing power. The data could also signal positive shifts in the central bank's monetary policies, potentially opening doors for adjustments in interest rates to further bolster economic growth. With these developments, stakeholders and policymakers remain keenly observant of the forthcoming economic indicators to gauge the robustness of this downward trend in inflation.
