菲律宾国家统计局日前公布的数字显示,菲律宾5月份通货膨胀率为4.2％,远低于去年同期的10.4％,为10年来的最低点。 据报道,5月份通胀率下降的主要原因是大米价格稳中有降和农业生产强劲增长。菲经济学家称,只要大米不出现瓶颈效应,菲律宾的消费价格指数就不会产生较大的波动。 Philippine National Bureau of Statistics recently released figures show that inflation in the Philippines in May was 4.2%, well below last year’s 10.4%, the lowest point in 10 years. It is reported that the main reason for the decline in inflation rate in May was the steady drop in rice prices and the strong growth in agricultural production. Philippine economists said that as long as there is no bottleneck effect in rice, the Philippine consumer price index will not have a greater volatility.
