Rate hike bsp

As expected, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) decided yesterday to keep interest rates steady, pausing from a tightening episode that saw rates rise by 175 basis points in five straight rate THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) delivered its biggest rate hike in over 10 years on Thursday, as it tries to protect next year’s inflation from steering away from their target range. The highest increase in 10 years brought the overnight borrowing rate to 4 percent. It was also the third straight hike this year. The BSP earlier raised rates twice by 25-basis point increments.

The BSP has said that inflation will likely peak this quarter and eventually ease, bringing the full-year average to 4.5%. RATE HIKE The economists agree that the BSP will raise policy rates this week, but differ on magnitude. The BSP last hiked policy rates in September 2014 when inflation was trending above the 3-5% target for that year. The central bank’s decision satisfied mounting calls for a rate hike. Last week’s BusinessWorld poll showed nine of 11 economists expecting higher rates at this week’s meeting. The Monetary Board decided to cut the interest rate on the BSP’s overnight reverse repurchase (RRP) facility by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.25 percent. Accordingly, the interest rates on the overnight deposit and lending facilities were reduced to 3.75 percent and 4.75 percent, respectively. The BSP’s reluctance to tweak policy rates came even after the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate on March 22 and hinted at two more hikes this year in a vote of confidence in the U.S The BSP on Wednesday raised the overnight borrowing rate, which banks use as a benchmark to price their loans, by 25 basis points, bringing the total increase this year to 50 basis points. "It depends on the market conditions. It depends on the competitive environment. There are many factors to consider," Espenilla said. With inflation expected by the BSP to hit 4.9 percent for this year and 3.7 percent for next year, economists agree that the BSP will likely make one more 25-basis-point rate hike before this year THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) delivered its biggest rate hike in over 10 years on Thursday, as it tries to protect next year’s inflation from steering away from their target range.
