I'm wondering why the government doesn't just print more money in the Philippines. Wouldn't that solve our economic problems? Why isn't this a viable solution?

One such consequence is inflation, where the prices of goods escalate due to the excess currency in circulation.

During inflation, the purchasing power of money diminishes, meaning consumers need more currency to buy the same amount of goods.
