  • January's decline in CPI (month-on-month) supportive of a cut in the base rate.
  • Central Bank has done a good job in stabilising the currency.
  • Unemployment declining for December provides opportunity to cut to offset weaker exports and moderately softer GDP.
  • We expect however the BSP to move to a more neutral bias going forward.
