S&P Global Ratings said the Philippines faces weak economic growth alongside high inflation, with interest rates potentially staying elevated for longer. It cited supply-driven inflation pressures from global energy prices and El Niño-related food-cost increases, and noted October inflation reached 7.8%, a near four-year high.
El Niño-related stress on agricultural output could tighten local food supplies and increase competition for available feed inputs, while higher energy costs raise production and transport expenses. Persistent inflation and elevated interest rates may also weigh on demand and raise financing costs for feed buyers.
