Philippine peso humantong sa record na mababang P60.10 laban sa dolyar

Humantong ang Philippine peso sa record na mababang P60.10 laban sa US dollar noong Huwebes, Marso 19, dahil sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis dahil sa hidwaang sa Gitnang Silangan. Ito ay nagiging mas mahal ang mga importasyon, partikular na ang langis na ipinapasok ng bansa.

Noong Huwebes, Marso 19, bumaba ang Philippine peso sa record na mababang P60.10 laban sa US dollar, ayon sa data mula sa Bankers Association of the Philippines. Ito ay pagbaba ng 58 sentimo mula sa nakaraang araw na P59.52, at umabot pa sa P60.40 sa kalakalan noong araw na iyon. Ang pagbagsak ay dahil sa pagtaas ng presyo ng crude oil na lumampas sa $100 bawat bariles dahil sa hidwaan sa Gitnang Silangan na nagbabanta sa supply chain sa Strait of Hormuz. Umaabot sa 98% ng crude oil ng Pilipinas ay ipinapasok mula sa rehiyon na ito, na humantong sa record-high na presyo ng gasolina sa bansa. Si Michael Wan, senior analyst ng MUFG Bank, ay nagpahayag na maaaring bumaba pa sa P61 ang peso kung magpapatuloy ang militar na kampanya ng US laban sa Iran. Gayunpaman, sinabi ni Rappler resident economist JC Punongbayan na walang espesyal na bagay sa paglipas ng P60, na tinutukoy niyang psychological barrier lamang. 'There’s nothing really special about P59.9 versus P60.1, if you think of it,' ani niya. Dahil sa floating exchange rate regime, ang supply at demand ang nagdidikta ng rate. 'A weak peso is bad news for importers, because imported goods become more expensive. This is especially bad now that oil prices globally are spiking. But at the same time, a weak peso is good news for our exporters,' dagdag niya. Maaaring magdulot ito ng pagtaas ng inflation, ngunit ang Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ay nag-iintervene upang mabawasan ang volatility, bagaman limitado lamang ito.
