Credit for production activities jumped by 12.4% to P9.302 trillion as more loans were extended for real estate activities , manufacturing , financial and insurance activities , and information and communication . “Sustained growth in credit and domestic liquidity will continue to support economic activity and domestic demand,” central bank Governor Felipe M.

At its Nov. 17 meeting, the Monetary Board increased the overnight reverse repurchase rate by 75 basis points to 5%. The move followed the 75-bp hike by the US Federal Reserve at its Nov. 1-2 meeting, which brought its own policy rate to 3.75-4%. “Both segments are expected to return to positive territory eventually as face-to-face schooling and tourism and travel activities normalize,” she added.
