                    [Summary] => Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho lashed out at banks yesterday, accusing market players of "profiteering" by taking advantage of persistent coup rumors to force domestic interest rates to go up.


Reacting harshly to the Treasury bills auction on Monday, Camacho said the Bureau of Treasury (BTr) was left with no recourse but to reject all bids outright since banks were making unreasonably high bids based purely on rumors.

                    [Summary] => The Bureau of Treasury (BTr) has decided to cancel its P3.5 billion five-year bond auction on Monday in anticipation of market attempts to jack up the interest rates for the government's long-term bonds. 


As the country faces a deeper crisis in the wake of the US-Iraq war, aggravated by the impending international sanctions that were expected to disrupt dollar inflows from overseas Filipino workers, the market has been forcing the government to allow interest rates to go up.
