PSA: Inflation up 1.7% in September

October 08, 2025

The Philippines' headline inflation rate saw a slight acceleration in September 2025, rising to 1.7%, according to the latest data released by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

This marks a sharp decline from August's 1.5% and September 2024's 1.9% rates, falling within the central bank's projected range of 1.5% to 2.3%.

The PSA reported that the uptrend in overall inflation was primarily driven by the annual increase in the transport index, which rebounded to 1.0% in September after recording a 0.3% annual decline in August.

Additionally, the food and nonalcoholic beverages index saw an increment, moving from 0.9% to 1.0% during the month.

Prices for restaurants and accommodation services also showed an accelerated annual increase, rising to 2.4% in September from the 2.3% rate observed in August 2025.
