Consumer companies in the Philippines to benefit from inflation easing

Sales will continue to grow strongly on the back of a more favorable consumer sentiment, says Maybank ATR Kim Eng.

Maybank ATR Kim Eng noted:

Fuel prices in the Philippines have been going down, as benchmark global crude oil prices dropped 18.5% YTD to USD83.77/barrel. As a result, inflation eased MoM in May to 2.9% YoY.

We likewise revised down our inflation forecast this year to 3.1% from 4.3%. We believe that consumer companies will be the main beneficiary, as sales will continue to grow strongly on the back of a more favorable consumer sentiment.

Lower fuel costs should also help improve margins of the food and beverage companies due to lower packaging and freight costs.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
