The government statistics office said the nationwide inflation rate advanced to 7.1 percent in November, up slightly from seven percent the previous two months.

The November inflation figure was still within the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) full-year target of 7.6 percent to 7.9 percent.

This was an improvement over the 0.9 percent export growth that was posted in May, the NSO said, updating an earlier report that exports rose by 1.1 percent in that month.

For the first six months of the year, merchandise exports were up 3.3 percent from a year earlier to $19.4 billion, the government statistics office said.

The growth decelerated further from the 8.2 percent recorded in June and from the 18-month high of 15.3 percent posted in May.

Some analysts said the slow growth was likely to be temporary but the export numbers are not encouraging for an economy burdened by $61 billion in debt, high oil prices, corruption, tax evasion, rising unemployment and poverty.
