                    [Title] => Inflation steady at 3.6% in May
                    [Summary] => The inflation rate  remained steady at 3.6 percent in May as the prices of food, beverage and tobacco,  which make up a big chunk of the consumer price index basket, dropped significantly from the previous month, the National Statistics Office (NSO) reported yesterday.


The 3.6-percent inflation last month brought the five-month average to 3.6 percent, well within the government’s full-year target of between five and six percent.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said yesterday it would keep interest rates unchanged following the NSO announcement.
