As inflationary risks rise worldwide, the Philippines is facing the challenge of taming inflation while boosting growth.

“Is inflation transitory or the beginning of a longer-term problem? Central bankers and policy-makers are divided,” noted Benjamin Diokno, governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines .
