The government is considering the creation of a multi-billion peso special
"competitiveness" fund to assist distressed companies that are temporarily
experiencing liquidity problems, Finance Secretary Jose Pardo said
yesterday.

Pardo said the government would issue Erap Bonds through the National
Development Co. (NDC) to raise the money for this facility. Malacañang
gave NDC the go-signal to issue P50-billion bonds last year. So far, the NDC
has issued only P5 billion, the proceeds of which were supposed to be used for
lending to agri-related industries.

The government is planning to use P2 billion of the Erap Bonds as seed fund for
the Farmers Trust Guarantee Fund (FTGF) to finance projects for farm production
and integrated agro-processing facilities with the state-owned Quedan Guarantee
Fund Corp. (Quedancor) as fund manager.

The proposal was presented to the Economic Mobilization Group (EMG) and was now
under consideration by the National Development Co.
