MANILA, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The Philippine central bank left
key interest rates steady on Thursday, as expected, saying
current monetary policy settings remain appropriate after a
series of easing measures this year to shore up the pandemic-hit
economy.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) kept the rate on the
overnight reverse repurchase facility PHCBIR=ECI at a record
low of 2.0%. The rates on the overnight deposit and lending
facilities were likewise kept at 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively.
