September 1, 2025
HEADLINE INFLATION may have slightly picked up in August as rising food and electricity costs were tempered by low rice prices, analysts said.
A BusinessWorld poll of 16 analysts yielded a median estimate of 1.3% for the August consumer price index (CPI), picking up from 0.9% in July but slower than the 3.3% clip in August 2024.
