National treasurer Sergio Edeza said the government generated savings as domestic interest rates came down in  reaction to the decision of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to  ease monetary policies early on in the year.


Policy moves by the BSP included the steep reduction in policy rates, deposit tiering system and the lowering of banks‚ reserve requirements.
