Malacañang: Negatibong outlook ng Fitch hindi senyales ng downgrade

Pinagdiin ng Malacañang na ang pagbabago ng outlook ng Fitch Ratings sa negatibo para sa Pilipinas ay hindi nangangahulugang agarang pagbababa ng credit rating. Nanatiling ‘BBB’ investment-grade ang rating ng bansa. Binanggit ng ahensya ang proaktibong tugon ng gobyerno sa mga hamon mula sa labas.

MANILA, Philippines — Inamin ng Fitch Ratings ang ‘BBB’ investment-grade credit rating ng Pilipinas ngunit binago nito ang outlook mula ‘stable’ patungo sa ‘negative’.

Ayon sa Malacañang, hindi ito nagpapahiwatig ng paparating na pagbababa ng rating dahil binanggit mismo ng ahensya ang desisyun at proaktibong tugon ng gobyerno sa mga global na hamon, partikular na ang energy shock. “Fitch itself notes that a negative outlook does not mean that a downgrade is imminent,” ayon kay Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro sa isang press briefing.

Ipinunto rin ng Department of Finance na ang mga hakbang tulad ng pagpapalawak ng policy toolkit at fuel-saving strategies ay nagpapakita ng agile at responsible na pamamahala sa ekonomiya, na nagpapatibay ng kumpiyansa ng merkado. Nanatili ang malakas na access ng Pilipinas sa global capital markets, na sinusuportahan ng diversified investor base at demand para sa Republic of the Philippines issuances.

“Ang ekonomiya ay nananatiling nasa mabuting posisyon dahil malakas ang paglago at mabuti ang kalagayan ng mga bangko,” pahayag ni Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Eli Remolona. Gayunpaman, ang negatibong outlook ay nagbibigay-diin sa pangangailangang tugunan ang mga lumalabas na panganib sa credit profile ng bansa.
