THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said it is monitoring the markets for any possible second-round effects resulting from rising oil prices, particularly their impact on inflation, though it called such an eventuality unlikely in the near term.
The Monetary Board of the central bank has taken into account the effect of higher oil prices in its latest inflation forecast for the year but will remain vigilant should any monetary response be needed, BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno said in a briefing Thursday.
“Rising oil prices as global demand recovers will require more vigilance from monetary authorities. In the Philippines, underlying price pressures remain subdued given the prevailing slack in the domestic economy. However, the BSP remains on the lookout for possible second-round effects,” he said.
