Davao Region inflation climbs to 9.7 percent in October, PSA data show
The region is among 16 whose October inflation rate exceeded the national level, according to BusinessMirror.
Inflation in the Davao Region rose to 9.7 percent in October, according to a BusinessMirror report citing figures from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
The report said the Davao Region was one of 16 regions where inflation in October went above the national level. BusinessMirror noted that this puts nearly every part of the country at elevated inflation levels.
The available report did not give the national inflation figure for October, the region's rate in the previous month, or which goods and services drove the increase. DavaoNews will update this story as more details from the PSA become available.
Why it matters for Davao
An inflation rate of 9.7 percent means prices in the Davao Region, including Davao City, rose faster in October than the national level, which puts pressure on household budgets.
