MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines' central bank will keep its accommodative monetary policy plans for as long as needed to ensure a strong and sustainable economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, its governor said on Monday.

 

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno also told ANC news channel he expects a "strong recovery" in the second quarter after a contraction in the first quarter. Policymakers will meet on Thursday to decide on key rates, while second quarter economic data will be released on Tuesday.
