Price trends

Monthly retail price of one item

Average retail prices from PSA’s market surveys, one figure per month. These are provincial or city averages across surveyed markets, not the price in any one store.

Item · grouped by food type

Place

Period

Cebu Province is PSA’s provincial series. Cebu City is surveyed separately. Months PSA did not publish are shown as gaps, not zero.

Compare items

The basket, side by side

Every item in the basket for the selected place: the latest monthly price, the change from the same month a year earlier, and the change from the 2018 annual average.

Percentages compare PSA’s monthly averages. A missing month for an item leaves that comparison blank rather than using a nearby month.

Cost of living

Consumer price index, 2018 = 100

The CPI tracks the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services. The year-on-year change is the usual inflation figure. PSA publishes it for Cebu Province; Cebu City has no separate CPI.

Place

All items and the thirteen spending divisions PSA uses. The divisions are weighted by what households spend, so food carries the most weight.

Retail prices of agricultural commodities

PSA OpenSTAT, 2018-based series with the new geographic code (tables 0042M4ARN01 to 11). Monthly averages of PSA’s retail price surveys in selected markets, reported for Cebu (the province) and the City of Cebu. The basket here is a KlaroFlow selection of everyday items; the full tables hold many more. A month with no published figure is a gap in this report, never a zero.

Items PSA does not publish for Cebu

Several everyday items are in PSA’s commodity list but carry no Cebu figures in any month of this series: chicken eggs, red and white onions, imported and local garlic, galunggong and tilapia. They are left out rather than filled from other provinces.

Consumer price index

PSA OpenSTAT, CPI for all income households, 2018 = 100, with the new geographic code (tables 0012M4ACP22 and 0012M4ACP23). Monthly index and year-on-year change for the Philippines, Central Visayas and Cebu Province. The CPI measures a fixed basket for all households; it is not the price of any one item above.

What the figures can and cannot say

These are averages across surveyed markets on survey days. They show how a provincial average moved, not what a particular store charges, and they do not explain why a price moved. Extracted through the PSA OpenSTAT API on ; later PSA revisions are not reflected until the next pull.
