Inflation likely hit a six-month high in Nov

INFLATION LIKELY accelerated last month due to supply disruptions from recent storms and higher oil prices but stayed within central bank projections, analysts said. Nine economists and traders polled by BusinessWorld said the rise in consumer prices would stay at the low end of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas` (BSP) 2.4-3.3% forecast, which is up from the October result of 1.6%.
