HEADLINE INFLATION may have eased to 5.1-5.9% in October as prices of fuel and key food items dropped, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said late Tuesday.
If realized, October inflation would be slower than 6.1% in September and 7.7% a year earlier. However, October would be the 19th straight month that inflation has exceeded the central bank’s 2-4% target.
