                    [Summary] => Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Dante Canlas said over the weekend  that the country’s tax system is in need of another overhaul.


"The budget deficit which has reached almost P188 billion for the first 10 months of the year has been due to a shortfall in revenue which can be traced to the incomplete implementation of the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program," Canlas said.

The banking sector is still in a rut, but this is largely due to their reluctance to resume lending to the corporate sector, banking industry leaders said.

Buenaventura said there are several factors that favor a downward revision of the full-year inflation target.

These include stable food prices and supply as well as the lower-than-anticipated prices of oil products in the world market.

"There are no inflationary pressures, prices are stable and the exchange rate is also stable," said BSP Deputy Governor Amando Tetangco Jr.

The forecast range is wider than the 3.7 to 3.9 percent range earlier projected by BSP Governor Rafael Buenaventura and the four percent estimate of Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Dante Canlas.

"If government will downscale this year’s inflation target, then we will have ample room for future cuts in overnight rates. We could cut by 50 to 100 basis points, we can trim it by 50 basis points if inflation is five percent, and by 100 basis points if it’s four percent," said BSP Governor Rafael Buenaventura.

"We’ll be lucky to post a 2.8-percent growth (in terms of gross domestic product of GDP) for the year," Jose Cuisia Jr., former central bank governor and current chairman of Philam Life said yesterday.

"The Philippines will be one of the most affected countries by the further slowing down of the US economy as a result of the recent attacks. The US is our main export market along with Japan," Cuisia said.

Canlas said there is a strong likelihood government will exceed its projected gross domestic product (GDP) target of 2.6 percent in the third quarter due to higher employment.

"We might have to revisit our third quarter growth projections based on increased employment which is usually associated with good or improved production output and income," Canlas said.

Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Dante Canlas, however, assured that despite the uptick in July inflation, the government will still be able to keep inflation for the whole year within its target of six to seven percent.
