HEADLINE INFLATION sharply decelerated in February to its slowest print in five months, preliminary data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.
The consumer price index (CPI) eased to 2.1% in February from 2.9% in January and 3.4% a year ago. It was below the 2.2%-3% forecast from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
This was the slowest inflation print in five months or since the 1.9% clip in September 2024.
