                    [Summary] => The Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCRA) is expected to outdo the three other major credit rating agencies and upgrade its outlook rating on the Philippines by two notches from "negative" straight to "positive." 


After the en masse resignation of key cabinet officials in July last year, credit rating agencies including the usually upbeat JCRA downgraded their outlook rating on the country to "negative".

                    [Summary] => BACOLOD CITY – President Arroyo said yesterday the downgrade in the country’s credit rating by the Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCRA) by one notch is an indication that the fiscal reforms that the government is currently initiating are not moving fast enough.


The President expressed hopes that the bicameral conference committee will consider coming up with a structure that has a higher range and wider scope that will bring in the P60 billion of the P80 billion needed for fiscal reforms.
