IOU appetite remains high
The Bureau of the Treasury, or BTR, on Monday fully awarded bids for the government’s key Treasury bills. The 91-, 182-, and 364-day T-bills fetched average rates of 5.884 percent, 6.095 percent and 6.226 percent, all lower than previous auction results. Last week, the average rates for the 91-,182-, and 364-day T-bills settled at 5.973 percent, 6.266 percent, and 6.339 percent, respectively. The auction was nearly three times oversubscribed with total bids reaching P44.4 billion. The BTr raised the full program of P15.0 billion for the auction. In a comment, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation chief economist Michael Ricafort said Treasury bill auction yields corrected lower week-on-week. Yields on downtrend “This is similar to the week-on-week downward correction in PHP Bloomberg Valuation Service yields after US Treasury yields also corrected lower after better US inflation data at a new 2-year low of 3 percent in June 2023, from 4 percent in the previous month and nearing the Fed’s target of 2 percent,” Ricafort said. “The lower T-bill auction yields could have also been supported by the strongest peso exchange rate versus the US dollar in more than three months recently, thereby could reduce import prices and overall inflation that could still ease further due to higher base effects,” he added. On 13 July, the peso closed at 54.51 to a US dollar, its best performance since 5 April. The post IOU appetite remains high appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Illegal recruitment law amendments sought
Senator Robin Padilla has filed a bill aiming to amend Art. 38 (b) of Presidential Decree 442 or the Labor Code of the Philippines and Section 6 of RA 8042, the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995. This comes as the lawmaker bids protect overseas Filipino workers from illegal recruitment and human trafficking. Senate Bill 2216 is expected to tighten the screws against illegal recruitment syndicates and Padilla is also seeking to define illegal recruitment committed by a syndicate if two — instead of the current three — persons conspire to carry out the crime. “The current definition of illegal recruitment fails to capture the severity of the crime when committed by syndicates and on a large scale,” said Padilla. “The proposed amendments expand the definition to include illegal recruitment committed by a group of two or more persons conspiring and/or confederating with one another in carrying out any unlawful or illegal transaction, enterprise or scheme, instead of the original stringent three-person requirement,” he added. Should the proposed measure become law, he said, it would represent a significant step towards safer, fairer and more ethical recruitment practices. The lawmaker stressed that the passage of the bill will “help strengthen the protection of Filipino workers, prevent economic sabotage, and promote the country’s economic developments.” “It affirms our unwavering commitment to safeguard the rights and welfare of our workers, making our legal frameworks adapt and respond to the changing landscape of labor migration,” Padilla said.
