Economic Highlights




The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) Monetary Board, kept the overnight borrowing and lending rates unchanged at 4.00% and 6.00% respectively on 26 March (see Figure 1), for the fourth straight meeting. Meanwhile, the special deposit account (SDA) facility and the reserve requirement were also held steady at 2.50% and 20% respectively. The central bank decision came in line with our expectation and consensus estimates, as an anticipated acceleration in economic growth reduces the need for stimulus.
