BAHAGYANG nabawasan ang gross international reserves (GIR) ng Filipinas noong Mayo dahil sa outflows mula sa foreign exchange operations ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Sa preliminary data mula sa BSP, ang GIR level hanggang end-May 2018 ay bumaba sa $78.97 billion mula sa $79.61 billion sa end-April 2018, at mas mababa kumpara sa GIR level na $82.176 billion sa end-May 2017.
Ito ang pinakamababang GIR level magmula noong Nobyembre 2014, nang maitala ang foreign reserves sa $78.679 billion.
“The marginal decline in the GIR level recorded in May 2018 was due mainly to outflows arising from the foreign exchange operations of the BSP, payments made by the national government for its maturing foreign exchange obligations, and revaluation adjustments on the BSP’s gold holdings, resulting from the decrease in the price of gold in the international market,” wika ni BSP Governor Nestor Espenilla, Jr.
“These were partially tempered by the national government’s net foreign currency deposits and the BSP’s income from its investments abroad,” dagdag pa niya.
