Metrobank sees BSP rate cuts amid stable inflation
The Freeman
|February 10, 2026
Metrobank expects the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to extend monetary easing this year after inflation opened 2026 within the central bank’s target, a backdrop the lender says should help sustain economic growth even as price pressures begin to reemerge.
Philippine consumer prices rose 2 percent in January from a year earlier, quickening from 1.8 percent in December but staying inside the BSP’s 2 percent to 4 percent goal.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, climbed to 2.8 percent, suggesting demand is gradually firming as the recovery broadens.
