BSP POLICY RATE
Bumaba sa 5% ang benchmark policy rate ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas matapos itong bawasan ng 25 basis points.
Nasa 4.5% na ang overnight deposit rate, at nasa 5.5% naman ang overnight lending rate.
Interest rate ang ginagawang basehan ng mga bangko sa pagbibigay ng interes sa mga loan.
Ayon sa Central Bank, hindi nagbabago ang outlook sa inflation. Pero nagbabala ito sa posibleng electric rate adjustments at mas mataas na rice tariffs.
Nananatili ring "firm" ang domestic demand sa kabila ng patuloy na epekto ng trad policies ng U.S. sa global economic activity.

BREAKING. After more than 3 years, the Philippines has finally exited the “grey list” of Paris-based watchdog Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which commended the country for plugging all the holes in its defenses against dirty money and terrorism financing.
FATF noted how POGO ban contributed to PH’s removal from grey list.
“PH is now actively combating the risk of dirty money flowing through casinos in the country. Offshore gaming operators have been closed and casino junkets are now closely scrutinized.” | @ipcigaral
