Answer (1)

The correct answer is letter C. To control high inflation, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas typically raises interest rates. This discourages borrowing and slows down spending, which helps reduce inflationary pressure. In 2023, BSP did this to help control rising food and transport prices.
