President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is hopeful that the country’s economy will continue to progress after the inflation rate slightly slowed down in February.
Last month’s inflation rate went down to 8.6 percent, from 8.7 percent in January.
The President said the government will continue to implement initiatives in order to bring down inflation. “This committee, it’s called interagency committee on inflation and market outlook, so hindi na magiging ad hoc, kasi parang nagci-create ng committee pagka mag-import na ganun. E, minsan mali yung timing kasi magdedesisyon ka mag-import tapos darating dito sa atin e tamang tama nag-aani na ang mga farmers so umaangal talaga sila. So dapat talaga ifo-forecast mo, there should be a scientific, Science-based forecast ,” Diokno said in a palace briefing Tuesday.
