Gov’t must remain vigilant vs Covid
Economists said the government must remain vigilant over the rising Covid-19 cases to avoid disrupting business activities again and dragging the momentum for bank loans. “Increasing Covid-19 cases may have an alternative impact with more cautious consumption. We will have to see and observe carefully,” Carlo Asuncion, chief economist of Union Bank of the Philippines, told the Daily Tribune last Friday. On the same day, the World Health Organization declared that Covid-19 is no longer a global emergency. However, the Department of Health reported local cases have risen, with 1,878 more cases last Saturday, nine deaths, and 10,195 active cases. OCTA Research group said this brought the Covid-19 positivity rate nationwide up to 19.3 percent and warned it could climb to 25 percent in Metro Manila. Keep numbers down Bank economists said the authorities must adopt ways to curb the spread of Covid-19 while ensuring projected economic growth will not be dragged. “There are higher Covid cases recently, but still among the lowest since the pandemic started and would remain manageable if hospital bed utilization remains low and support further reopening of the economy towards greater normalcy with no more Covid restrictions,” Michael Ricafort, chief economist of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, said. For now, economists believe the slowing inflation and high vaccination rate in the country remain strong indications of vigorous business activities and possibly higher economic growth. “Unless hospitalizations dramatically increase, we think this would not significantly disrupt economic activities and affect loan demand, especially since the majority of the population are vaccinated,” Domini Velasquez, chief economist of China Banking Corporation, said. Ricafort added, “Easing inflation would fundamentally reduce interest rates that, in turn, reduce borrowing costs for the coming months, thereby supporting faster loan demand.” Inflation rate last month decelerated to 6.6 percent last month from 7.6 percent in March and the record-high 8.7 percent in January. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas aims to slow inflation further to 6 percent this year and 2.9 percent in 2024 through policy rate adjustments.
