Interest rate cuts may slightly weaken peso

June 5, 2025

The further interest rate cuts anticipated from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) may slightly weaken the peso to beyond the mid-P56 level this year, according to consensus forecasts collected by the Barcelona-based FocusEconomics.

In its June 2025 consensus forecast report for the Philippines, a copy of which was obtained by Manila Bulletin last week, FocusEconomics said the peso is expected to close the year at P56.73:$1.

"The peso should depreciate from current levels by the end of this year as monetary policy easing continues," FocusEconomics said. The peso is currently trading at the P55:$1 level.

"That said, a strong domestic economy will lead to a year-on-year appreciation of the Philippine peso," it added, as the peso settled at the P57:$1 level last year.
