MANILA \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Retail prices of goods in Metro Manila declined to 2.7 percent in October 2017 from 3.2 percent in the previous month, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported.<\/p>\n

PSA data attributed lower retail prices to the decline in annual growth of food index to 4 percent; crude materials, inedible except fuels index, 3.3 percent; mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials index, 10.7 percent; and machinery and transport equipment index, 0.3 percent.<\/p>\n

Higher annual increments, however, were observed in the indices of manufactured goods classified chiefly by materials at 1.6 percent and miscellaneous manufactured articles at 0.7 percent.<\/p>\n

The annual movement of chemicals, including animal and vegetable oils and fats index, remained at 1.7 percent for five consecutive months.<\/p>\n

Beverages and tobacco index also retained its previous month\u2019s rate of 4.7 percent.<\/p>\n

Month-on-month, the increase in retail prices in Metro Manila also slowed down to 0.2 percent in October from 0.6 percent posted in September.<\/p>\n

The PSA said the index of crude materials, inedible except fuels, and machinery and transport equipment both declined by 0.1 percent.<\/p>\n

Petroleum products such as gasoline, liquefied petroleum gasoline (LPG), diesel and kerosene, and prices of gasoline oil also went down this month.\u00a0(PNA)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
