₱300-B LOAN NG NAT’L GOV’T SA BSP, NABAYARAN NA BAGO PA ANG DEADLINE — DOF

NABAYARAN na ng “buo” ng pamahalaan ang nasa P300 bilyong halaga ng loan mula sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) nitong Biyernes.

Ayon sa Department of Finance (DOF), binayaran ng gobyerno ang utang nito sa BSP ng mas maaga sa maturity date na June 11.

“The repayment fulfills the goal of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III to unwind the pandemic-related liquidity support from the BSP before the start of the next administration,” pahayag ng kagawaran.

Nagawang makabayad ng pamahalan ng mas maaga dahil sa tuloy na tuloy na pagbangon ng ekonomiya ng bansa.

“The advance payment of the national government’s P300-billion provincial advances from the BSP underscores the continued strong fiscal position of the Duterte administration despite the financial challenges from the pandemic and, later, the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” pahayag ni Dominguez.

“Its solid macroeconomic fundamentals–made even stronger by the game-changing reforms carried out by President Duterte during the COVID-19 crisis to further liberalize the economy and attract investors–will return the Philippines soon enough to its pre-pandemic path of rapid and inclusive growth,” dagdag pa ng opisyal.
