“The monetary policy statement in March was neutral besides guarding against the build-up of demand price pressures that will eventually derail the nation’s economic revival, if any.”

“Overall, the economic recovery still needs persistent policy support. Unless second round inflationary effects occur, BSP would remain on hold, in our view, keeping the RRP rate at 2.00% until end of this year.”
