BAGUIO CITY — Steady food prices coupled with manageable transport and utility costs could have led to inflation edging down last month, analysts said.
The median forecast among nine analysts polled by The Manila Times was 2.8 percent, easing from December 2024's 2.9-percent result and in line with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas' (BSP) 2.5- to 3.3-percent estimate for the month.
