                    [Summary] => 
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is widely expected to resume its monetary policy easing this week, as a continued slowdown in inflation opens the door for a fresh interest rate cut. Analysts said the BSP’s Monetary Board would likely slash borrowing costs by 25 basis points  on Thursday, bringing the key policy rate to 5.5 percent from the current 5.75 percent.
