BSP may tighten as oil risks rise

Manila Bulletin

March 18, 2026

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) stands ready to pivot back toward a tightening bias as persistent supply shocks and the rally in global oil prices threaten to derail the central bank’s inflation targets.

BSP Deputy Governor Zeno Ronald R. Abenoja said that the policy-making Monetary Board (MB) is closely monitoring geopolitical tensions that have driven up import costs and weakened the domestic currency.

“If we see further disruptions in supply chains, further deterioration, or further increases in prices, then that may prompt the MB to consider policy action moving forward,” Abenoja told the private sector on Tuesday, March 17.
