Inflation in ASEAN countries has pushed central banks in the region to prioritise economic recovery over monetary tightening. But they will step up efforts to contain price appreciation as inflationary pressure grows. A recent report by Moody’s Investors Service says that such rises in interest rates will lead to a widening of banks' net interest margins.
