'One more' rate hike 'most likely scenario'

Monetary authorities to act if inflation goes higher – Medalla

MONETARY authorities remain hawkish but are unlikely to order a hefty rate increase when they next meet in March, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Felipe Medalla said.

'[T]he most likely scenario is one more hike,' Medalla told reporters on Friday at the sidelines of the BSP's annual reception for the banking community.
