File March 05, 2021 HEADLINE inflation in February 2021 accelerated further to 4.7 percent, the highest since January 2019, due mainly to elevated prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages.
This is higher than the 4.2 percent in January 2021 and 2.6 percent in February 2020, but within the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) forecast of 4.3 to 5.1 percent.
BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno, in a series of Twitter posts, maintained that this is temporary.
“The latest outturn is consistent with the BSP’s assessment of a transitory uptick in inflation in H1 2021, reflecting the impact of weather related disturbances, the African Swine Fever on food prices, higher global oil prices, as well as positive based effects,” he said.
