THE Philippines’ balance of payments (BoP) deficit widened in March, driven by the elevated trade gap and heightened geopolitical uncertainty, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) data showed on Monday.
The country’s BoP position stood at a $2.637-billion deficit last month, ballooning from the $1.966-billion gap in the same month in 2025 and the $2.277-billion gap in February.
