HEADLINE INFLATION may have further eased in December and settled to within the 2-4% target for the first time in almost two years amid lower prices of fruits and vegetables, electricity and fuel, analysts said.
Inflation likely eased to 4% last month, according to a median estimate of a BusinessWorld poll last week. This is within the 3.6% to 4.4% forecast given by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) last week.
