[Title] => Donors urge RP to complete tax reform program
[Summary] =>
The donor community appealed to the Arroyo administration not to drop its efforts to complete its tax policy reform program, suggesting that the government should also consider raising corporate taxes.
Multilateral funding agencies said the government should pursue tax policy options for the 2008 budget, particularly the indexation of sin taxes to inflation and scrapping redundant tax incentives.

[Title] => IMF sees RP economy growing 5.8% this year
[Summary] =>
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it expects the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 5.8 percent this year and could further expand by as much as seven percent if ongoing economic reforms are completed over the medium term.
The IMF concluded its 2006 annual consultation with the Philippines last month, taking particular mention of "impressive" fiscal reforms in an environment of sustained growth and declining inflation.

[Title] => BSP needs no policy adjustment — IMF
[Summary] => The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said there was no need for the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to tweak its monetary stance, saying that the current handling of the inflation target was "appropriate".
The IMF said the current monetary policy settings of the BSP appeared consistent with inflation returning within target over the next 12 months.
"The policy stance of the BSP is evenly-balanced and all indicators point to a declining trend in inflation rate," said IMF resident representative Reza Baqir.

[Title] => RP needs add’l taxes for balanced budget — IMF
[Summary] => Without further tax measures, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said the plan of the Arroyo administration to increase spending would keep the fiscal deficit at two percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
According to the IMF, balancing the budget and increasing infrastructure spending would not be possible without additional tax measures on top of the recent tax reforms that increased the value added tax rate from 10 percent to 12 percent.
