MANILA, April 9 (Reuters) - The Philippine central bank
may consider a pause in its monetary tightening cycle when it
meets next month if inflation slows in April, the bank's
governor said on Sunday.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Felipe Medalla said in
a telephone message to Reuters that a pause was possible "if the
April CPI (consumer price index) is not higher than the March
CPI".
