— The Philippines’ central bank governor said on Wednesday that weak growth may cause monetary authorities to cut rates.

The central bank may cut rates or pause in the next policy meeting on Dec. 19, Governor Eli Remolona told reporters, adding that inflation pressures might cause authorities to keep rates unchanged.
