The Philippine central bank yesterday raised interest rates for the second time in two months, warning that inflation would breach its target this year with rising commodity prices and fish shortages driving up costs. The monetary authority hiked its key interest rate by another 25 basis points to 2.5 percent, effective today. Bangko Sentral Governor Benjamin Diokno said the central bank was prepared to “take all necessary policy action” to bring down inflation over the medium term. Overnight deposit and lending facilities were raised by the same amount to 2 percent and 3 percent respectively. The hike comes after inflation hit 5.4 percent last
