                    [Summary] => The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is keen on co-financing with the World Bank (WB) government proposed $200-million Public Finance Strengthening Project (PFSP).


Finance Undersecretary Juanita Amatong said JBIC recently expressed its willingness to co-finance the PFSP that is supposed to replace the $400-million Public Sector Reform Loan (PSRL) which government cancelled earlier.


"If the deal pushes through, both agencies will be putting in the same amount which means government can raise a total of $400 million," said Amatong.

The Department of Finance (DOF) will instead use only about half of the loan and the balance will be used to guarantee other loans from which government expects larger proceeds.
