The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) projects inflation for April 2025 to remain subdued, settling within the range of 1.3% to 2.1%. This outlook is driven by easing prices of rice, fish, fruits, and vegetables, supported by favorable domestic supply conditions, lower global oil prices, and the recent appreciation of the peso.
These downward pressures on inflation may be partially offset by higher electricity rates and increased fares for LRT-1.
Looking ahead, the Monetary Board reaffirms its commitment to a measured and data-driven approach to monetary policy. It will continue to adjust its stance as needed to maintain price stability while supporting balanced and sustainable economic growth and employment.
