As a result, day-to-day loan rates at 2. 75% and 1. 75% respectively. The mandatory reserve ratio (RRR) of advertising banks also remained intact at 12. 00%. »

The dangers of the problem to the inflation outlook can basically come from possible disruptions in national and global economic activity amid the existing pandemic. As a result, BSP believes that a continued pause in rates will allow past measures to advance in the economy. , while the slow easing of government constraints and sustained efforts help raise market confidence and announce economic recovery in the coming months.

This leads to an increase consistent with the chances of a prolonged BSP-consistent rate breakdown through 2021. In addition to this, the governor of BSP also said in an interview with ANC Market Edge on September 21 that the financial government deserves to maintain the existing financial framework for the next two years to help the economy fully recover from the impact of the pandemic . . . As such, we believe that BSP will unchanged the RRP rate and RRR of advertising banks by 2. 25% and 12. 00% respectively until 2021. »
