BusinessWorld E-paper

THE BANGKO SENTRAL ng Pilipinas (BSP) may pause at its next meeting rather than immediately reverse its easing cycle amid oil price spikes and the peso’s depreciation, Moody’s Analytics said.
“I think it is unlikely for the BSP to immediately shift back to a tightening cycle while it is still on an easing path, but the risk of a prudent and prolonged pause has clearly increased,” Moody’s Analytics Assistant Director and Economist Sarah Tan told BusinessWorld in an e-mail.
