PHILIPPINE inflation may have quickened in September as bad weather pushed up food prices, fuel costs surged and the peso weakened, with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) expecting the rate to stay above its 3% target for a seventh straight month.
In a statement, the central bank said inflation likely settled at 6.4% to 7.4% in September from 6.1% in August and 1.7% a year earlier.
