The  Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) is expecting the country’s  debt payment capability to remain "stable"  in the next 18 months due in part to recent progress in reducing the government’s budget deficit. 


"On the Philippine sovereign risk, payment difficulties are not in prospect over the next 18 months, partly because of recent progress on reducing the fiscal deficit," the EIU said, in its latest risk assessment on the Philippines.

The  Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) is expecting the country’s  debt payment capability to remain "stable"  in the next 18 months due in part to recent progress in reducing the government’s budget deficit. 


"On the Philippine sovereign risk, payment difficulties are not in prospect over the next 18 months, partly because of recent progress on reducing the fiscal deficit," the EIU said, in its latest risk assessment on the Philippines.
