The Monetary Board, the policy-making body of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP), tightened yesterday its monetary policy for the first time in four
months to preempt any impact   of a likely  hike in US interest rates.

At its weekly meeting, the Monetary Board effectively raised its overnight
borrowing rate by discontinuing a previous two-tier system and offering a flat
rate of 8.75 percent for all funds lent to the  BSP.

Previously, it had paid a lower rate of eight percent on half of all funds in
excess of  P500 million.

                    [Summary] => 

The Monetary Board, the policy-making body of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP), tightened yesterday its monetary policy for the first time in four
months to preempt any impact   of a likely  hike in US interest rates.

At its weekly meeting, the Monetary Board effectively raised its overnight
borrowing rate by discontinuing a previous two-tier system and offering a flat
rate of 8.75 percent for all funds lent to the  BSP.

Previously, it had paid a lower rate of eight percent on half of all funds in
excess of  P500 million.
