President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sat down with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona on Wednesday to discuss the latest monetary policy adjustments and the country’s improving economic outlook.
During the meeting, the BSP reported that inflation has slowed to 1.7 percent, while inflation for the bottom 30 percent of households has dropped to –0.4 percent. This encouraging trend enabled the Monetary Board to bring down the policy rate to 4.75 percent—aimed at making borrowing more affordable for families and businesses.
Governor Remolona said the decision to lower the policy rate was made to help “stimulate more demand,” noting that the inflation environment has become favorable enough to support the move.
For 2026, inflation is projected at 3.1 percent—well within government targets—while the 2027 outlook is even better at around 2.8 percent. Although economic growth was sluggish in 2025, a rebound is expected by next year with the economy seen returning to target growth levels by 2027.
President Marcos reaffirmed his commitment to protecting economic stability and ensuring conditions for broad-based, long-term growth that benefits all Filipinos.
