BSP expands investment options for OFWs

In a recent issuance, the BSP exempted Personal Equity and Retirement Account (PERA) unit investment trust funds (UITFs) from the 10-percent nonresident ownership limit that previously restricted their ability to invest in BSP securities.

Nonresidents are generally barred from owning BSP securities or debt instruments issued by the central bank to manage liquidity in the financial system.

Previously, UITFs could invest in these securities only if nonresident participation in the fund did not exceed 10 percent.

Not a cure-all

Super typhoons have struck our country one after the other these past two weeks, the latest of which was Tino. Badly devastated was Cebu, Negros and several other provinces in the Visayas where Tino unleashed winds that moved waves of seawater and rains of enormous volume. But we are not seeing an end yet to typhoon visits in the Philippines.
