Philippines' inflation dropped to 12-month low of 2.6%

Will rate cuts come next?

According to BBVA, Philippines inflation fell to a 12-month low of 2.6% y/y (consensus: 2.9%) in April, down from 3.2% in March. The central bank has kept rates unchanged at 3.5% since October.

"Despite the lower-than-expected inflation outturn, we do not anticipate additional rate cuts given the strong growth momentum and risks of overheating," BBVA said.

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.
