Davao del Norte inflation rises to 10.4 percent in September
Headline inflation in Davao del Norte rose from 10 percent in August, driven mainly by higher food and housing costs, according to the Philippine Information Agency.
Headline inflation in Davao del Norte rose to 10.4 percent in September 2026, up from 10 percent in August, according to the Philippine Information Agency (PIA).
The PIA report, filed from Tagum City, attributed the faster rise mainly to price increases in food and housing, among other items. The agency's headline also states that the province's September rate ranked third lowest among provinces and areas in the Davao Region.
The available excerpt of the report did not include figures for other parts of the region, including Davao City, or a full list of the commodity groups behind the increase.
Why it matters for Davao
Davao del Norte is a neighbour of Davao City, and double-digit inflation driven by food and housing costs signals sustained pressure on household budgets in the region.
