We Filipinos become more conscious when it comes to money. We want to earn more, buy bigger things and start saving for the rainy days. With all the products that’s offering better saving components, why many FIlipinos still don’t want to start? One of the most common answer is this: FEAR OF INFLATION.
Last year, we experienced a high inflation rate that cause the price of goods and services to increase. Making it hard for us to budget our salary. These changes in the government, including the rise of the infrastructure spending for the “Build, Build, Build Project), raise big concerns for us Filipino economically. Other factors are:
- The possible great effect of US vs China trade war in our economic status.
- The high GDP rate means the “slowly but surely” growth of the economy.
- Increase unemployment to many Filipino fresh graduates enable the government to upscale infrastructure projects and hope to bring jobs to people.
- Inflation improves paving the way for more rate cuts.
With all these factors, it is rest assured that it is still good to invest NOW and take advantage of what the market can do to make our money grow.
