菲律宾央行行长雷莫洛纳(Eli Remolona)周五表示,该国的最新经济增长数据虽然“不算太差”,但仍令人失望。
受建筑业低迷和国内需求疲软影响,菲律宾第二季度经济同比增长2.3%,为2021年以来最疲弱的增长速度。
“因此,综合考虑经济增长数据和通胀数据,我认为在通胀呈现更明确的下行趋势之前,我们还不能放松警惕,”雷莫洛纳表示,他形容这一经济表现“有些出人意料”。
“目前增长比较疲弱,这意味着我们在抑制通胀方面可以采取不那么激进的措施。”
受第二季度的表现影响,菲律宾上半年经济增长率为2.6%,低于全年3.5%至4.5%的目标。
菲律宾政府已将2027年至2030年的国内生产总值(GDP)增长率目标定为5.0%至6.0%。
为抑制通胀,菲律宾央行于6月将政策利率上调了25个基点。该行将于8月27日举行货币政策会议。
