Average inflation for the January to February period was at 2.5 percent, within the government's two to four percent target.

While inflation continued to slow down in February, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said the government would continue to ensure sufficient supply of commodities, while steadily increasing agricultural productivity.

"The government will sustain its efforts to keep inflation low and manageable to protect the purchasing power of Filipinos. As we expect six to 13 typhoons to develop from March to August 2025, the Department of Agriculture will implement the La Niña action plan to restore agricultural productive capacity in areas likely to be affected by continuous rainfall, flooding and landslides," NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said.
