Consumer price inflation in the Philippines decelerated to an annual rate of 6.2% in July, down from 6.4% in the previous month.
The decline marks the slowest pace of price growth in four months, driven by easing pressures in transport costs and stable food prices, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
