BusinessWorld E-paper
January 03, 2023
HEADLINE INFLATION likely peaked in December as strong holiday demand and agricultural
damage caused by typhoons may have driven food prices higher, according to analysts.
A BusinessWorld poll of 11 analysts yielded a median estimate of 8.3% for December inflation. This
is also within the 7.8% to 8.6% forecast given by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) last week.
