                    [Summary] => The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has approved two loans from two major official development assistance (ODA) donors that would fund separate projects in local government financing and customs operations.


The BSP’s Monetary Board approved the loans last week, one amounting to 400 million yuan from the Export Import Bank of China, equivalent to around $50 million.


BSP Governor Amando M. Tetangco Jr. said the loan proceeds would be used to finance the acquisition and operation of cargo inspection equipment for the Bureau of Customs (BOC).

                    [Summary] => The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has allocated P200 million for lending to the manufacturing and agri-business sectors in line with government’s emphasis on microfinancing.


The multi-million peso lending facility is in line with the administration’s policy of making available financing to the countryside, especially for poverty alleviation.


However, DBP officials said the loan facility would involve multi-financing institutions (MFIs) in providing small enterprises direct access to credit and banking services.
