Philippine inflation inches up to 3.2%

Blame it on increasing housing prices and recent weather-related shocks.

According to BBVA Research, the Philippines’ inflation ticks up, but is still within target range. Inflation rose in the Philippines to 3.2% y/y in July (consensus: 3.1% y/y) from 2.8% y/y in June, as increasing housing prices (5.0% y/y) support the story that the Philippines’ growth momentum remains intact. July’s headline outturn remains well within policymakers’ 3%-5% target range, and is expected to remain so in the coming months, though recent weather-related supply shocks may exert upward pressures.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
