[MANILA] The Philippine central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.0 per cent on Thursday, as expected, with inflation not a problem and economic growth on a solid footing.
It also kept the rate on its short-term special deposit accounts (SDAs) steady at 2.5 per cent.
The policy-making Monetary Board holds a rate-setting meeting every six weeks.
The SDAs are a facility where banks can put funds for between seven and 32 days.
