Philippine consumer prices are expected to go up more than expected in the last six months of the year given movements in global prices, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said Tuesday.

According to BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno, inflation is seen to settle above the 2% to 4% target range in the second half due to elevated global oil and non-oil prices and positive base effects.

Domestic pump prices have been on an uptrend in 12 out of the past 14 weeks, which the Department of Energy has repeatedly attributed to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine that has hit global supplies and driven global prices higher. “We are aware that inflation is likely to remain elevated in the coming months due mainly to domestic and global supply-side pressures. Inflation expectations have likewise risen but they continue to be anchored to the 2% to 4% target band,” Diokno said.
