[Title] => Government works to speed up release of $175-M ADB loan
[Summary] => The Asian Developmen Bank (ADB) will not release the second and third tranches of a $175-million loan for the development of the country’s grains sector unless the Philippine government fulfills two critical conditions — a reduction in the National Food Authority’s palay support price and the liberalization of the country’s rice market.
In a letter to ADB president Tadao Chino, Finance Sec. Jose Isidro Camacho said the government is doing its best to meet these conditions.
