Philippine GDP grew 2.1% in the third quarter, with high inflation dragging on growth, Nikkei reported .

The 2.1% figure marked a further slowing of growth, with inflation as the drag .

Central banks elsewhere are facing the same bind: Britain's central bank raised its key rate for the first time in over three years, Euronews reported , and the Fed held rates days before the US midterms, with two officials pushing for another hike .

The stakes sit in the cause: growth is slowing because prices are rising, not because the economy is merely cooling, and that leaves less room for the usual remedies .

What is known is the 2.1% third-quarter figure and inflation as the drag . What is not yet known is the previous quarter's rate, which sectors slowed most, or what policymakers plan next — none of that appeared in today's intake . The figures came from Nikkei alone; no other outlet in today's intake carried them .
