MANILA, Philippines — The inflation rate in the country slowed down to 4.3 percent in November 2021, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported Tuesday, slightly lower than the 4.6 percent recorded in October 2021.
“Ang dahilan ng pagbagal ng antas ng inflation nitong Nobyembre 2021 ay ang mas mabagal na paggalaw ng presyo ng Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages na may 3.9 % inflation at 93.2 % share sa pagbaba ng pangkalahatang inflation sa bansa,” the PSA said in a tweet.
(The reason behind the inflation slowdown in November 2021 is the slow movement in the price of food and non-alcoholic beverages at 3.9 percent inflation, which constitutes 93.2 percent share in the slower overall inflation in the country.)
