Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry chairman Donald Dee  urged big businesses and banks yesterday not to engage in currency speculation that contributes to the peso’s depreciation.


The more the peso depreciates, the more costly it will be for the country to import fuel, he said. 


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye also said the depreciation of the peso will increase the cost of the Philippines’ dollar-denominated debts.

                    [Summary] => Currency speculation and too much political noise are driving the peso under.


Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry chairman Donald Dee  urged big businesses and banks yesterday not to engage in currency speculation that contributes to the peso’s depreciation.


The more the peso depreciates, the more costly it will be for the country to import fuel, he said. 


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye also said the depreciation of the peso will increase the cost of the Philippines’ dollar-denominated debts.
