                    [Summary] => The Bangko Sentral ng Pilippinas is allowing the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) to borrow $220 million from the foreign credit market to refinance its maturing obligations and fund part of its capital expenditures for 2004. 


With no cash coming from the Lopez-controlled concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, MWSS has sought the BSP approval of its borrowing plan although it was not known how much the water agency would have to raise before the end of the first semester.

Finance sources revealed yesterday that the MWSS is seeking the approval of the Department of Finance (DOF) for its $230-million borrowing next year. This is on top of the $200-million authority that it already got for this year.
