The country's overall inflation slowed to 6.4% in June 2026 from 6.8% in May, according to the latest report from the Philippine Statistics Authority, as reported by Philstar Biz.
The June figure marks a slight deceleration from the previous month, though inflation remains elevated. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas earlier projected inflation to average within its 2–4 percent target band this year, but recent data has consistently exceeded that range.
Economists will watch for further softening in the coming months, as supply-side pressures and global commodity prices continue to influence domestic price trends. The government has maintained a cautious stance on monetary policy, balancing growth with price stability.
