Meanwhile, consumers have turned less optimistic for the period as they anticipate faster inflation, fewer available jobs and less income, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said.MANILA, Philippines —
In the first quarter, business sentiment weakened as the index declined to 33.1 percent from 35.9 percent in the previous quarter, mainly due to concerns over lesser demand for goods and services, slowdown in business activities, persistent inflationary pressures, stiff competition and the negative impact of El Niño.
Furthermore, businesses expected that inflation may breach the upper end of the government’s two to four percent target range for 2024 to 2026. The index also declined to 13.4 percent in the next 12 months from the previous survey result of 15 percent.
