“Next meeting will focus on inflationary expectations in PH, not the Fed’s 25 bps rate increase,” Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Felipe Medalla told reporters in a phone message.
Philippine inflation was likely to be within a range of 7.5% to 8.3% in January, the central bank said on Tuesday, following the 8.1% rate in December, which was a 14-year high. The statistics agency will release inflation data on Feb. 7.
