The latest inflation rate is lower compared to the same month in 2024, which was 2.5%.

The PSA said the inflation downtrend was due to the slower rise in heavily-weighted food and nonalcoholic beverages, which was a mere 0.1% in November 2025 compared to 0.5% the previous month.

Lower inflation rates were also recorded during November 2025 in the following: alcoholic beverages and tobacco (3.6% from 4.0%), furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance (2.0% from 2.4%), and personal care and miscellaneous goods and services (2.4% from 2.5%).
