Why the Increase Matters

1. Shielding Against Inflation
   In 2025, inflation hovered around 20%–25%, sharply increasing the cost of essentials. A higher installment helps cushion households against price shocks, reducing economic stress.
2. Upholding Social Commitments
   The adjusted payment underscores BISP’s promise to deliver meaningful support. Families relying on BISP can better manage education, healthcare, and nutrition when financial aid matches real-world needs.
3. Stabilizing Rural Economies
   In underdeveloped and rural regions, BISP funds often fuel local economies supporting small markets, stores, and service providers.
4. Empowering Women
   Since BISP is largely a women-targeted program, the increased funds boost their financial agency, enabling better decision making in family welfare.
