PH among ''biggest losers'' in Ukraine war

04:18pm, Friday, 25'th Feb 2022 The Manila Times
A STEEP rise in oil and food prices triggered by the war in Ukraine could hit Asian economies hard, with the Philippines among the biggest losers, the Japan-based global investment firm Nomura predicted. "Although ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia-Ukraine can hurt Asia through multiple channels, such as tighter global financial conditions, elevated uncertainty and the risk of weaker global demand, higher commodity prices are the most important transmission channel," Nomura said in a report released on Friday. Brent crude oil prices, which are now over $100 a barrel, reflect the geopolitical risk from the conflict, it said. Russian forces launched a land, sea and air invasion of Ukraine Thursday. Nomura said food prices have already gone up, partly because Russia is one of the world''s biggest producers of wheat and corn, but also because of the impact of higher oil prices on transportation, fertilizer and feedstock costs, and biofuel substitution. The fallout from the war will be deeply felt in Asia, where most nations import oil, and food and energy account for roughly half of emerging market consumption expenditure, it said. "In Asia, India, Thailand and the Philippines are the biggest losers, while Indonesia would be relative beneficiary from higher commodity prices," Nomura said.

PH credit rating retained

04:22pm, Friday, 18'th Feb 2022 The Manila Times
THE Philippines'' investment-grade credit rating of "BBB" has been retained by Fitch Ratings with a negative outlook, citing the country''s strong economic and external position, as well as weak structural issues. "Philippines'' rating balances strong external buffers and growth against lagging structural indicators, including per capita income and governance," it said in a statement issued on Friday. The Philippines'' external finances remain a credit strength, Fitch highlighted, with foreign currency reserves of $109 billion at the end of 2021, only slightly lower than $110 billion in 2020 and well above pre-pandemic levels, thanks to proceeds from international borrowing, multilateral sources and an upward adjustment in the value of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas gold holdings. It also said that the country is a net external creditor, with net foreign direct investment flows rising 52.5 percent from the same period in 2020 to $9.2 billion in the first 11 months of 2021. In terms of economic growth, the credit rating agency anticipates that the Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) will rebound to 6.9 percent this year and 7 percent in 2023, up from 5.6 percent last year, before settling at 6 percent to 6.5 percent.
