-- フィリピン中央銀行が金曜日に発表した調査によると、中東情勢の緊迫化に伴う燃料価格の高騰への懸念から、3月のフィリピン企業景況感は急激に悪化した。 景況感指数は2月の8.2%から-24.3%に急落し、今後3ヶ月間の見通しも37.4%から-17.3%に低下した。 12ヶ月間の見通しは依然としてプラスだったものの、地政学的リスクとインフレ継続への懸念を反映し、51.1%から11.7%へと大幅に低下したと中央銀行は述べた。 今後3ヶ月間および1年間の雇用計画も軟化し、今後の雇用増加ペースの鈍化を示唆している。 企業はインフレ率が中央銀行の目標である3%を上回るものの、許容範囲内にとどまると予想しており、中央銀行はインフレ圧力が強まれば行動を起こす用意があると報告書は述べている。
