IMPROVEMENT THEREAFTERBUSINESS REBUILDS
INVENTORY SO GDP UP 2.9 03 (DOWN FROM 3-3.5
FCAST ORIGINALLY) VS. 1.9 02

GETTING LESS WEAK
  • KOIZUMI IS PUSHING FOR
  • BANK REFORMTO REDUCE NPLS
  • TAX CUTS
  • MINIMAL GDP GROWTH IN NEXT 2-3 YEARS
  • SO, OVERALL, GLOBAL ECONOMY IS FORECAST TO GROW
    FASTER AT 3.7 IN 03 VS. 2.8 IN 02

6
U.S. IRAQ WAR
1
IRAQ HAS AGREED TO U.N. SPONSORED ARMS
INSPECTION WAR AVERTED, FOR NOW
  • BUT CHANCES FOR A WAR ARE STILL HIGH
  • IRAQ CAN STILL CHANGE ITS MIND ABOUT COOPERATION
    AS IT DID MANY TIMES IN THE PAST
  • U.S. IS ALREADY PLANNING FOR A WAR OUSTING
    SADDAM IS ITS GOAL, EVEN IF THIS MEANS MILITARY
    ACTION
  • U.S. DOESNT NEED A U.N. RESOLUTION TO ATTACK
    IRAQIF THERE ARE ARMS VIOLATIONS
  • THE U.S. CONGRESS HAS OKD BUSH REQUEST TO DEAL
    WITH IRAQ AS HE SEES FIT.
  • SCARY

7
U.S. IRAQ WAR
2
IMPACT WILL BE ON THE OIL MARKETAND CONFIDENCE.
THE POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
  • NO WAR, BUT THREAT OF ONE REMAINS
  • OIL PRICES INCORPORATE A WAR PREMIUM AN EXTRA
    4-8/BBL
  • OIL PRICES VOLATILEUP IF WAR IS IMMINENTDOWN
    IF THREAT EASES
  • A BRIEF WAR, AND SADDAM IS TOPPLED
  • OIL PRICES SPIKE BRIEFLY, THEN FALL
  • LOW, STABLE PRICES PREVAIL POSTWAR, AS IRAQI OIL
    RE-ENTERS THE MARKET
  • INCREASED U.S. INVESTMENTS IN IRAQ

8
3
U.S. IRAQ WAR
  • A PROLONGED WAR
  • 70-80/BBL OIL PRICES
  • CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST ESCALATES
  • MORE TERRORIST ADVENTURES AS U.S. ATTENTION IS
    DIVERTED TO IRAQ
  • DAMAGED GLOBAL CONFIDENCE, POSSIBLE DEFLATION

9
TERRORISM
1
9/11 WAS A SHOWCASE SUCCESS, HAS SHOWN IT CAN BE
DONE MORE ATTACKS SINCE 9/11 IN ISRAEL, TUNISIA,
YEMEN, PAKISTAN, MOSCOW, JORDON, KUWAIT,
PHILIPPINES, INDONESIA (BALI) AND KENYA
  • THE PROBLEM IS RENDERED MORE DIFFICULT BY
  • THE SUICIDAL NATURE OF SOME ATTACKS
  • THE INCORPORATION OF THE JIHAD ELEMENT
  • AVAILABILITY OF CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL WEAPONSAND
    EASY ACCESS TO BOMB MATERIALS

10
TERRORISM
2
BUT
  • IMPACT ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS BRIEFTHE WORLD
    RECOVERED FROM 9/11 IN JUST ONE QUARTER
  • ITLL TAKE SEVERAL ATTACKS THE SIZE OF 9/11,
    BALI OVER A SUSTAINED PERIOD TO INFLICT LASTING
    ECONOMIC DAMAGE
  • NO MORE COLD WARSO UNDIVIDED FOCUS ON TERRORISM
  • JUST A MATTER OF TIME (A FEW MORE YEARS) BEFORE
    TERRORISM IS CONTAINED?

POLITICIANS
THE ELECTIONS WERE GENERALLY PEACEFUL
COMELEC CHIEF
PEACEFUL? 100 KILLED! A PEACEFUL ELECTION IS
WHERE LESS THAN 1 PERSON IS KILLED PETER WALLACE
MAJOR ECO REFORMS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCEDSINCE 1992
WITH GOOD RESULTS TIME FOR REFORMS IN THE
POLITICAL SPHEREMODERN ECO NEEDS MODERN
POLITICAL SYSTEM
17
1
PROGRESS ON KEY ECONOMIC REFORMS
  • NO SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS YET
  • GMA GOVT PASSED ONLY 2 KEY REFORM BILLS IN 01,
    BUT
  • EPIRA INSUFFICIENT TO ADDRESS TRANSCO ISSUE,
    SO A SEPARATE TRANSCO BILL NEEDS TO BE PASSED
  • ANTIMONEY LAUNDERING FTAF REJECTED IT, DIDNT
    LIKE THE FLOOR ON DEPOSITS SUBJECT TO
    INQUIRY, SO THE LAW HAS TO BE AMENDED

2 FAILURES OUT OF 2 LEDAC SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS
17 PRIORITY BILLS FOR 02, WITH 6 KEY ECONOMIC
REFORM BILLS CONGRESS WAS ABLE TO DISCUSS ONLY 2
ECO BILLSAMENDMENTS TO EPIRA (TRANSCO, PPA) AND
SPAV ACT BUT SENATE COUP STALLED THESE BILLS
18
AFTA-CEPT
0-5 TARIFFS ON 98 OF RPS PRODUCTS(EXCLUSION
SOME MAJOR AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES) MOST LARGE
LOCAL MANUFACTURERS READY TO ADJUST TO THIS
CHANGENOW EXPORTING, OR HAVE SET UP FACTORIES
IN OTHER ASEAN COUNTRIES BUT OTHERS COULD FALL BY
THE WAYSIDE ALSO, DECISION TO FREEZE TARIFFS ON
SELECTED PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCTS (15) ARE
WORRYING MANUFACTURERS COULD RAISE THE PRICE OF
PACKAGING MATERIALS (6 TO 10 COST)AFFECTING
THEIR COMPETITIVENESS
19
BUDGET DEFICIT
1
P188B AS OF OCT. VS. P130B TARGET FOR 02 NO
SERIOUS IMPACT THIS YEARBUT IT WILL BE TOUGH
NEXT YEAR SP, FITCH OUTLOOK DOWNGRADES WILL MAKE
ACCESS TO INTL CAPITAL MARKET MORE DIFFICULT,
AND MORE EXPENSIVE 507 BPS SPREAD FOR 500M FLOAT
IN NOV. DOESNT AUGUR WELLIT WAS ONLY 290 BPS
IN JUNE AND RP STILL NEEDS 1.5B FOR 03
DEFICIT FINANCING 03 DEFICIT ALSO RAISED TO
P200B FROM P142B ORIGINALLY MORE MONEY NEEDED
20
BUDGET DEFICIT
2
IF INTL MARKET CLOSES DOWN ON RP,OR PREMIUM
BECOMES TOO PROHIBITIVE GOVT HAS LITTLE CHOICE
BUT TO BORROW LOCALLY PLANNED MIX IS NOW 52
LOCAL, 48 FOREIGN VS. 4456 BEFORE OCT.
HIGHER LOCAL INTEREST RATES PESO INSTABILITY
(DUE TO INCREASED PERCEPTION OF POOR ECONOMIC
PROSPECTS) HIGHER GOVT DEBT SERVICE (DUE TO
PESO DEPN, MORE EXPENSIVE BORROWINGS) AND THE
SPIRAL COULD GO ON
21
3
BUDGET DEFICIT
ITS THE INCREASE IN DEBT SERVICE THAT COULD
INFLICT DAMAGE OVER MT
  • LESS GOVT FUNDS AVAILABLE TO BOOST THE DOMESTIC
    ECONOMY TO COMPENSATE FOR A POSSIBLE WEAKNESS OF
    THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
  • IT BECOMES DOUBLY HARD WITH SPENDING 03 FALLING
    1 IN REAL TERMS
  • PRESSURE ON GOVT FINANCES INCREASED AS DEBT
    SERVICE RISES FURTHER WITH PESO DEPN

DEBT SERVICE AS OF NATL BUDGET
22
CHALLENGES TO FDIs
1
THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT IS BAD ENOUGH ITS
WORSE WHEN PROJECTS ALREADY APPROVED,
IMPLEMENTED, COMPLETED AND/OR OPERATING STILL GET
UNSETTLED BY LEGAL AND POLICY CHALLENGES
  • JUST THIS YEAR
  • THE PIATCO FIASCO
  • THE PEA SCANDAL
  • THE IPP ATTACK AND REVIEW
  • ATTACK ON CBK
  • SC DECISION ON MANILA RECLAMATION
  • SHIP BUILDINGA PUBLIC UTILITY?
  • THE MERALCO RORB VERDICT
  • SO, WHOS GOING TO INVEST?

23
CHALLENGES TO FDIs
2
WITH THE IPP REVIEW, MERALCO SETBACKTHERE COULD
BE NO MORE INVESTMENT IN POWER SUPPLYNOT
WORTHWHILE DOING SO SO BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THE
RETURN OF POWER BLACKOUTS IN 2006 OR 2007 AND
THE GOVT SAID IT WANTS MORE FDIs WHEN NO MAJOR
PROJECTS EVER HAD A SMOOTH PASSAGE IN RP SURE,
THERE WILL BE MORE INVESTMENTS TO CHINA

DECISION TO DISBURSE FUNDS, INVEST IN A COUNTRY

IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS
1
THE ECONOMY MAY LOOK O.K. BUT ITS HARD TO MAKE
MONEY IN IT GDP MEASURES REAL GROWTH. COMPANIES
MEASURE (OR P) GROWTH SO IF YOU SELL MORE
PRODUCTS FOR LESS PRICE PER UNIT,THE ECONOMY
GOES UP BUT THE BUSINESS DOESNT IF YOU SELL MORE
AND COSTS GO UP BUT THE PRICE DOESNT SAME THING
SALES AND PROFITS ( CHANGE)
WBF SURVEY OF MNCS, MAR02 2002 CORPORATE

42
IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS
ECONOMIC GROWTH WAS NARROWLY BASED
43
IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS
ECONOMIC GROWTH WAS NARROWLY BASED
IN ESSENCEJUST SOME EXPORTS, SOME BASIC GOODS
(IF CELL PHONES CAN NOW BE CONSIDERED BASIC), AND
GOVT HOUSING THIS LEAVES OUT MOST OF THE REST OF
THE INDUSTRIES
44
IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS
  • WHILE ADMITTING ECONOMIC PROSPECTS HAVE IMPROVED
    THIS YEAR ALMOST 60 OF CEOs SAID THEY WONT
    HIRE NEW WORKERSFOR AT LEAST A YEAR, WHILE 1/3
    SAID NO HIRING WOULD OCCUR IN THE FORESEEABLE
    FUTURE
  • ALMOST 60 ALSO SEE CAPACITY EXPANSION ONLYAFTER
    A YEAR OR TWO, WHILE ALMOST ¼ DONT THINK IT
    WILL HAPPEN AT ALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE
