Bangko Sentral cuts policy rate to 4.25% after slower than expected GDP growth in 2025

<p>MANILA, Philippines – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) once again slashed the country’s interest rates on Thursday, February 19, by 25 basis points, bringing the policy rate to 4.25%.</p>

<p>This is the ninth time that the central bank cut interest rates since it began its easing cycle in August 2024.</p>

<p>BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr. said that while the monetary authority’s inflation outlook remains manageable, economic growth had been slower than expected as the flood control projects scandal hampered consumer and investor confidence.</p>

<p>“Our decision today may actually help to restore confidence, boosting investment and consumption. The pace of economic recovery will depend on how quickly confidence returns,” he said.</p>

<p>Interest rates are one of many tools a central bank can use to control inflation. A lower interest rate means cheaper borrowing costs, encouraging people to spend more and stimulate the economy.</p>

<p>The Marcos Jr. administration once again missed its economic growth targets for the third straight year in 2025, with the economy growing 4.4% amid a contraction in government infrastructure spending.</p>
