Table 2. Year-on-Year Inflation Rates in Apayao, By Commodity Groups in Percent (2018=100)
The gradual acceleration in the province’s inflation rate in October 2022 was primarily due to the increase of some of the commodity groups: Recreation, Sport, and Culture with 0.2 percent; Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages with 1.7 percent; Clothing and Footwear with 1.4 percent; and Information and Communication with 0.5 percent. The continuous acceleration in the inflation rate denotes that the value of peso decreases but the value of dollar increases.
(Figure 2 and Table 2)
Five commodity groups slightly decelerated in their inflation rate; Transport with 3.2 percent, although its inflation rate decelerated, it is still the highest contributing factor in the inflation of the province; Restaurants and Accommodation Services with 0.7 percent; Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco with 0.8 percent; Personal Care, and Miscellaneous Goods and Services with 0.2 percent; and Health with 0.2 percent. (Figure 2 and Table 2)
The remaining commodity groups with constant inflation rate are: Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas, and Other Fuels at 14.9 percent; Furnishings, Household Equipment, and Routine Household Maintenance at 3.6 percent; Education Services at -0.1 percent; and Financial Services at 0.0 percent.
