Fund outflows trigger review

BSPThere is no stopping foreign fund managers from withdrawing more portfolio investments in the Philippines, reaching $6 billion on gross basis from January 1 up to July 18, data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) show.

As gross inflows amounted to only $5.608 billion, the net outflow of $395.38 billion has forced the BSP to look at all the external numbers again and find out if the sector could withstand still more beating.

There is particular disagreement over the extent of this year’s forecast balance-of-payments (BOP) surplus seen originally to hit $2.5 billion, for example.
