The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has just shared its prediction for how much prices of goods and services may rise in February 2025. According to the BSP, inflation—or the rate at which prices go up—will likely be between 2.2% and 3.0% this month.
💰 What Does This Mean?
Inflation is like when your favorite snack gets more expensive over time. If prices rise too fast, it can make life harder for people, especially those who need to budget carefully. But if inflation is too low, it can slow down economic growth. That’s why BSP keeps a close watch!
🏦 What Will BSP Do?
The Monetary Board, the group responsible for making big money decisions in the country, says it will take a “measured approach” to keep prices stable. This means they will carefully adjust policies, like interest rates, to make sure inflation stays in check.
📅 When Will We Know for Sure?
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release the official inflation report on March 5, 2025. This report will confirm whether BSP’s prediction was correct and what it means for Filipinos.
