[Title] => 5-month budget gap well below target
[Summary] => The government reported a budget deficit of P67.8 billion in the first five months of the year, well below the P98.5-billion deficit programmed for the first half of 2005, the Department of Finance (DOF) reported yesterday.
The five-month figure was also 12.4 percent lower than the P77.4-billion shortfall recorded in the same period last year.
Analysts said the latest performance showed the government was on course to meet its deficit target of P180 billion, or 3.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), for the full year.

[Title] => 91-day T-bills inch up to 5.883%
[Summary] => Treasury officials rejected the bids for the one-year Treasury bills for two auctions in a row yesterday, allowing slight increases only in the benchmark 91-day and 182-day Treasury bills (T-bills).
The average interest rate on the 91-day T-bills went up by 9.9 basis points to 5.883 percent but the market was noticeably thin as banks opted to take a cautious position in the wake of ongoing political controversies.

[Title] => Benchmark T-bill rate down
