Abstract:MANILA, (Reuters) - According to the central bank, Philippine inflation in December was projected to be in the 7.8% to 8.6% range due to upward pressures from rising power rates and agricultural commodity prices.
After inflation reached 8% in November, it stated it would continue to watch events to avoid further expansion of price pressures. In the first week of January, the Philippines' statistics department will disclose inflation figures.
What really is Inflation means?
Inflation is defined as a rise in the overall price level of goods and services in an economy over time. When the overall price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer products and services; hence, inflation implies a loss of money's buying power. The inflation rate, which is the annualized percentage change in a general price index (often the consumer price index) over time, is a key metric of price inflation.
Inflation may be produced by a variety of circumstances, including a rise in money supply, an increase in government expenditure, or a drop in goods and services output. Inflation may also be induced by a rise in manufacturing costs, such as the cost of raw materials or labor.
Inflation may affect an economy in both good and bad ways. On the one hand, it may boost spending and investment since consumers may anticipate prices to rise in the future and hence want to purchase products and services before they become more costly. High and persistent inflation, on the other hand, may cause uncertainty and instability because people may not know how much products and services will cost in the future, and it can also undermine the value of people's savings.
Governments and central banks often employ different measures to attempt to contain inflation and preserve price stability in an economy, such as interest rates and monetary policy.
