TUMAAS ang gross international reserves (GIR) ng Filipinas sa P85.61 billion hanggang noong katapusan ng Agosto sa likod ng foreign currency deposits ng gobyerno at ng overseas investments ng central bank.
Sa preliminary data na ipinalabas ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), ang GRI level ay tumaas ng $43 million mula sa $85.18-billion noong Hulyo.
“The month-on-month increase in the GIR level reflects the National Government’s (NG) net foreign currency deposits and BSP’s income from its investments abroad,” wika ni BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno.
“However, the increase in reserves was partially tempered by payments made by the NG for servicing its foreign exchange obligations,” sabi pa ni Diokno.
“The GIR level serves as ample external liquidity buffer and is equivalent to 7.5 months’ worth of imports of goods and payments of services and primary income.”
“It is also equivalent to 5.2 times the country’s short-term external debt based on original maturity and 3.8 times based on residual maturity.”
Tumaas din ang net international reserves, o ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng GIR ng BSP at ng total short-term liabilities, ng $43 million sa $85.6 billion hanggang noong katapusan ng Agosto mula sa $85.17 billion noong Hulyo 2019.
