Can the Phil govt pay back its P15 trillion debt?
Looking forward to the future of business
The video said there is nothing to worry about. Its a lot of mumbo jumbo.
The total debt is divided into: P10 trillion local debt and P5 trillion foreign debt. This is riskier.
because of limited FX and very low interest rate at 0.01 %. And is therefore affordable
And also look at FX reserve of Philippines. which stands at $100 billion or P5.8 trillion.
But its worrisome too. At say 3% for foreign, and 6.5% domestic debt, debt service would be
P5 trillion x 3% = P150 billion
P10 trillion x 6.5% = P650 billion
Total 800 billion
How much of the BIR collection How much did BIR collect in 2023 - P2.5 trillion
Debt service would roughly be 30% of local revenues. That is a lot.
And our govt managers are borrowing like crazy to finance welfare and other non productive enterprises. We should be aware
