Analysts anticipate gradual easing cycle

THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) policymaking body Monetary Board is expected to be more data-dependent in deciding future rate cuts with the easing cycle anticipated to be gradual, analysts said.

'We believe monetary policy moving forward will now be more data-dependent, wherein each incremental rate cut will depend on what direction inflation goes relative to expectations,' HSBC Global Research economist Aris Dacanay said.
