BUMABA ang dollar reserves ng bansa noong Disyembre, ayon sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
Sa preliminary data na inilabas ng BSP nitong Martes, lumitaw na ang gross international reserves (GIR) — isang panukat ng kakayahan na i-settle ang import payments at service foreign debt — ay nasa $106.837 billion hanggang end-December 2024.
Mas mababa ito sa $108.488 billion noong Nobyembre ngunit mas mataas sa $103.753 billion na naitala noong December 2023.
“The month-on-month decrease in the GIR level reflected mainly the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ net foreign exchange operations, drawdown on the national government’s deposits with the BSP to pay off its foreign currency debt obligations, and downward valuation adjustments in the BSP’s gold holdings due to the decrease in the price of gold in the international market,” ayon sa central bank.
Sa datos, ang utang ng bansa ay nasa P16.02 trillion hanggang October 2024. Mas mataas ito ng 0.8% o P126.95-billion sa naunang buwan, na pangunahing inudyukan ng paghina ng piso.
“The latest GIR is equivalent to a liquidity buffer of 7.5 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income, and about 3.8 times the country’s short-term external debt based on residual maturity,” ayon sa BSP.
