                    [Summary] => The Arroyo administration has decided to increase its planned dollar-linked peso notes from P3 billion to P5 billion, saying the demand for the instrument has increased exponentially  as the banking industry continues to suffer from the absence of credit demand in the private sector. 


The Bureau of Treasury (BTr) revealed over the weekend that the initial book-building process had generated over P16-billion worth of pledges, indicating that the market was eager for the government to increase the volume.
