Slowing Inflation A Key Factor in Supporting PHL Growth

As we navigate the complexities of the Philippine economy, it's crucial to consider the role that inflation plays in shaping its trajectory. According to ATR Asset Management Group (ATRAM Group), slowing inflation is expected to continue through 2025, providing a foundation for sustained growth. In this blog post, we'll delve into the implications of disinflation on PHL and explore the key trends that will shape the investment landscape.

The Power of Slowing Inflation

Slowing inflation can have a profound impact on the economy, as it allows for

Increased purchasing power As prices rise at a slower pace, consumers' ability to purchase goods and services increases, boosting demand and driving growth.
Lower interest rates A decrease in inflation expectations can lead to lower interest rates, making borrowing cheaper and more accessible, which can stimulate investment and spending.
Improved business confidence When inflation is under control, businesses are more likely to invest, hire, and expand, as they feel more confident about the future.

Breaking Down the Trends A Closer Look at Inflation

To gain a deeper understanding of the trends shaping PHL's economic landscape, let's examine some key statistics

Inflation rate According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the country's inflation rate has been steadily declining since 2020, reaching 2.5% in Q1 2024. This trend is expected to continue, with ATRAM Group anticipating a disinflationary environment through 2025.
Price changes The PSA also reports that prices for goods and services have been increasing at a slower pace, with some categories experiencing deflation (price decreases). For example, the price of food has decreased by 0.3% in Q1 2024, while non-food items have risen by 2.5%.
Monetary policy The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has been actively managing monetary policy to control inflation. In recent years, the BSP has implemented a series of rate hikes to curb inflationary pressures, which has led to an increase in interest rates.
