- Food inflation fell sharply to 2.4 percent, while non-food inflation edged up to 4 percent.
- Imported inflation dropped to 0.6 percent, reflecting improved exchange rate stability and moderating global prices.
- Regional disparities remain, with the Northeast Region at 8.9 percent and the Savannah Region experiencing 5.6 percent deflation.
