Seasonal factors, such as the degree of demand for selected goods and services during the season, pushed up the index of clothing & footwear. These, however, did not affect the index of furnishings, a government release said.
In the National Capital Region (NCR), the seasonal factors pushed up the indices of both furnishings and clothing & footwear.
In areas outside NCR, the monthly increments in the seasonally-adjusted CPI for clothing and footwear decelerated to 0.1 per cent in July from a 0.4 per cent increase in June. These factors did not affect the index of furnishings though.
