24. Investment Grade
Fitch, S&P, Japan Ratings Agency and soon
Moody’s
Analysis of a country’s debt condition, tax
collection, low and stable inflation collectively
known as risk premium
25. Irony
With lower risk premium, money flows in >
we no longer need too much external
borrowing
Government can raise resources internally
Enough fx to finance our requirements
29. Can we sustain investment grade?
Macroeconomic policy can influence but not
totally change institutions/cultures
We are faced with huge structural imbalance
favoring the present economic and political
groups
Private sector must follow and government
infrastructure investments
31. Richest follow their investments

32. What holds in the next 3 years?
Philippines will need to prepare:
– ASEAN 2015
– Shift in OFW demand
– Immediate transformation of investments to
productive and job-sustaining activities
– Support infrastructure
We are severely affected by internal
structure!
33. P-Noy Focus
Focus on quality basic education including
financial literacy as a basic life skill
Improving the business climate by now
extending fight of corruption at local levels
Encourage and take the lead in investments
in sectors where productivity is low –
agriculture
Overwhelming infrastructure development
34. Without these…
Investment upgrade mostly reputational
impact – good for short- term
Increase FDI to at least US$5Bn! – Argentina
and Egypt have lower credit ratings but
higher FDIs of 11 and 5 Bn!
They need to be connected to smaller firms
35. Please attend…
51st Annual Meeting of the Philippine
Economic Society on 15 November 2013
Featuring the country’s top economists and
business leaders
