The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is expected to raise interest rates further in December, with some economists anticipating additional tightening through early 2027 as persistent inflation and a weakening peso keep pressure on monetary authorities. Analysts from BofA Global Research, BMI and Bank of the Philippine Islands  see room for further increases after the BSP’s Monetary Board delivered a larger-than-expected 50-basis-point hike on Thursday, bringing the benchmark interest rate to 5.50 percent.
