Next year’s election spending is expected to generate economic activity in order to offset the decrease in exports, a Singapore based economist said yesterday.


Jose Mario Cuyegkeng, senior economist of ING Bank said the growth in exports this year will not be duplicated in 2007 as the world economy slows down.


"Global environment is not growing as fast this year," Cuyegkeng told members of the Financial Executives Association of the Philippines (Finex) at a conference in New World Hotel.

The National Statistics Office (NSO) reported yesterday  that the increase in  consumer price index  topped the BSP’s  forecast range of between 6.6 and 7.1 percent for August. Inflation stood at 7.1 percent in July.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, which favors an accommodative monetary policy to stimulate economic growth, raised rates by a quarter of a point on April 7 — its first rate change in nearly two years — in response to rising inflationary pressure.


Its overnight borrowing rate is now seven percent and its lending rate 9.25 percent.
