                    [Title] => RP’s economic woes to continue this year — report
                    [Summary] => Despite government assurances, last year’s political crisis will continue to adversely affect the economy this year, with most of the "better" scenario goals appearing to be "worse" than the actual values in 2000, according to a local brokerage house.


A report by PCCI Securities and Brokers Corp. described the National Economic and Development Authority’s (NEDA) revised targets as "reasonable as reference values."

"The market will maintain its defensive mode, with market participants not expected to make large positions because of the pending impeachment trial," Wise Securities research head Jose Vistan said.

"There is still hesitation since the market is uncertain of what the outcome of President Estrada’s impeachment trial will be," said veteran stockbroker Irving, Ackerman, who heads his own securities firm I. Ackerman and Co.

With the nationwide protest action and the landmark impeachment case against President Estrada in Congress gaining ground, investor euphoria, however, soon subsided as the political struggle has shifted to the pro-administration-led Senate, where the President’s impeachment faces an uncertain fate.

After plunging past the 1500 support level, the 30-issue Philippine Stock Exchange index (Phisix) will be testing the 1400-1450 range anew as the dearth of market uplifting news continue to undermine investor confidence in the local bourse.

While some players think share prices have bottomed out, making a good number of stocks ripe for picking, the general sentiment remains on a cautious mode, as rising interest rates and the weaker peso further inhibit investors to take greater exposure in the equities market.

With a short trading week ahead of the traditional Lenten holidays, the local bourse is expected to further fall into a deep slumber following the steep drop in the US markets last Friday.

Analysts said investors are likely to stay in the sidelines ahead of the long weekend, although there could be some positioning and accumulation of selected blue chips by institutional investors like pension fund SSS picking on bargain issues.
