Food prices, which account for nearly half of the CPI basket, dropped 2.28%, marking the largest decline since a record 2.65% fall in December 2018. Inflation also moderated for clothing and footwear (2.28% vs. 2.33% in August) and fuel and light (1.98% vs. 2.32%). Conversely, price pressures rose for pan, tobacco, and intoxicants (2.73% vs. 2.49%), housing (3.98% vs. 3.09%), and miscellaneous items (5.35% vs. 5.05%).
