In November 2025, the Philippines saw a slight decrease in its Core Consumer Price Index (CPI), which reached 2.4%. This marks a downtrend from the previous month’s figure of 2.5% recorded in October 2025, according to data updated on December 5, 2025.
The Core CPI is a vital economic indicator as it reflects inflation by measuring the change in the cost of goods and services, excluding those from the food and energy sectors. This decline, albeit slight, may indicate a moderating inflationary pressure compared to the previous year, when contrasting it against the same month a year ago.
Market analysts will be closely watching how this subtle shift impacts both economic policy and consumer spending in the coming months, as the Central Bank may need to adjust its strategies to ensure economic stability amidst fluctuating global economic conditions. This information is significant for stakeholders as it may influence investment decisions and economic forecasts moving forward.
