In the Philippines, inflation refers to the rise in prices of things people buy, like food, gas, and other goods. The central bank, which is like the country’s money manager, said that for March 2025, they expect inflation to be between 1.7% and 2.5%.
This is lower than the 2.1% inflation rate from February. This means prices of goods might go up a little, but not too much. The central bank’s job is to keep prices from going too high, which is called “price stability.” They said they will keep working carefully to manage how much prices increase.
On April 4, the Philippine government will announce the official inflation number for March, so everyone will know the exact change in prices. The central bank wants to make sure that inflation doesn’t rise too much, so people can still afford to buy the things they need.
