                    [Summary] => The country’s economic team said yesterday it will review this year’s inflation target of five to six percent after the first quarter.


In yesterday’s economic briefing, Budget Secretary Emilia Boncodin who chairs the interagency Development Budget Coordinating Council (DBCC) said the review is significant because any revision or adjustment in the inflation numbers will also mean similar revisions in other key macroeconomic targets such as the gross domestic product (GDP) and the 91-day Treasury bill rate.

Camacho, who attended the recent World Economic Forum, said global economic and market experts agree that the US is already on its way to economic recovery in the first half of the year, much earlier than the original projection of a turnaround in the second semester.

The MB maintained the overnight borrowing and lending rates at nine percent and 11.25 percent, respectively.


"Notwithstanding market expectations of lower rates, the Board reached this decision in recognition of recent movements in the peso-dollar rate and their implications for future inflation," the MB said in a statement.
