Philippines, Thailand Hold Interest Rates Steady For Different Reasons
By Shuli Ren
So far this year only Bank Indonesia has cut its benchmark interest rates – three times.
As expected, the Philippines and Thailand’s central banks decided to leave their benchmark interest rates unchanged today. The Philippines kept its policy rate at 4%, while Bank of Thailand kept its rate on hold at 1.50%.
In the Philippines, the central bank does not need to cut rates to spur the economy. Growth there picked up to 6.3% in the final quarter of 2015. For the full year, the Southeast Asian nation reported 5.8% growth.
Thailand, on the other hand, needs help. In fourth quarter of 2015, its economy grew by only 0.8% quarter-0n-quarter. But the Bank of Thailand is leaving the heavy lifting to the militia government (good luck with that!). Capital Economics wrote:
The government has been putting together a raft of fiscal measures to support economic activity, including a 56bn (0.4% of GDP) supplemental budget that received parliamentary approval in February. More recently, the Finance Minister has announced new plans to stimulate growth, such as financial assistance for lower-income households and tax breaks during the Songkran festival in April.
Both the Philippines peso and the Thai baht retreated amid broad U.S. dollar strength. The peso fell 0.35% and the baht dropped 0.47%. On the equity side, the PSE Index gained 0.25%, while the Thai SET Index rose 0.1%.
Year-to-date, the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE) has gained 8.1%, the iShares MSCI Thailand Capped ETF (THD) has jumped 15%.
