Fresh fare hike may
fuel higher inflation–BSP
|
|
By Maricel E. Burgonio, Reporter
THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)
is not discounting the possibility of inflation accelerating even
further this year in light of a fresh increase in public transport
fares.
BSP Gov. Amando Tetangco Jr. said
monetary authorities are likely to revise their inflation forecast
for this year due to the new wave of fare adjustments. The BSP
earlier said inflation would peak at 11 percent to 12 percent in the
third quarter of the year, before easing well into next year.
