The clever response from you  We are aware that the core investor is always in search, not just of higher and higher returns, but rather of “quality” returns. We are also aware that countries with good governance frameworks, wide-ranging structural reforms and appropriate macroeconomic policies are always on such investors’ shortlist in their search for high effective returns.
I believe, the Philippines’ macroeconomic fundamentals as well as the reforms that have been instituted in the banking sector make us a clear choice for the core investor. The recent volatilities related to the US subprime mortgage market are not likely to have a direct significant impact on our banking system.
