Price growth of building materials in NCR slows
The Philippine Star
|October 15, 2025
Retail prices of building materials in Metro Manila posted a slightly lower growth rate in September due to a slowdown in government infrastructure spending amid an ongoing probe on corruption in flood control project:
Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) released yesterday showed that the Construction Materials Retail Price Index (CMRPI) in the National Capital Region (NCR) moved up at a slower pace of one percent in September from 1.1 percent in August.
The September CMRPI growth was also slower than the 1.2-percent uptick posted in the same month last year.
