INVESTORS ARE UPBEAT ON THE
PHILIPPINES
Goldman Sachs
Our bullish Philippines view is centered on the belief that the economy is still
in the early stages of a cyclical asset price reflation cycle.
Adam Le Mesuriar
Merrill Lynch
With the strong macroeconomic story continuing to unfold throughout this
year, we think that there is more upside for the Philippine debt.
Fitch Ratings
Raised RP country rating from BB to BB+. Bullish
investor sentiment should provide the backdrop that
would signal a possible upgrade in the country’s
sovereign ratings.
S&P
RP may beat its revenue and budget deficit-reduction
targets this year after raising and expanding its valueadded tax. . . . at this stage the expanded value- added
tax is delivering the goods together with tightening up of
administrative and enforcement measures…The
government's revenue and deficit targets are realistic. . .
. . .there's probably some upside as well.
ING Bank
RP likely to get another upgrade of its credit rating
outlook this year as a result of its improving fiscal
condition.
Moody’s will raise its outlook on the Philippines to
stable before the year ends… and might also raise their
credit outlook to positive if the government continues
its trend of outperforming its targets. . . . investors will
continue to be buying Philippine assets.
We expect strong fundamentals and a stable external
environment to support Philippine financial markets.

Catherine Weir
Country Corporate Officer
Citibank NA
“... recent international studies reveal that
Filipino employees are rated very highly in terms
of skill, flexibility, adaptability, cost and ability to
speak English compared to other countries in
Asia. Ten years ago, there were no centralized
services in the Philippines. Today, some 14
companies have moved critical services into
centralized operations in the Philippines. The
pace can only accelerate…an ideal business
location.”

Lexmark “Triple Crown Award” for bringing the new plant on-line
ahead of schedule, within budget and exceeding the product
shipment plan by 300% in 1999.
