                    [Summary] => The risks of doing business in the Philippines are rising, leading to a sharp drop in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Southeast Asian country in recent years, according to an Asian Development Bank study. 


Rising fiscal deficits, the increasing influence of vested interests in the courts and in lawmaking, and the government’s weakness "in creating and enforcing freely competitive and/or regulated markets" act as deterrents to prospective investors, said the report, obtained by AFP yesterday.

                    [Summary] => Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. said yesterday rich Filipinos should share the burden of lifting the country from the looming fiscal crisis and give up some of their wealth.


De Venecia urged the country’s wealthy elite to follow the example set by their counterparts in South Korea and Thailand, who donated jewelry and dollars during the height of the mid-1997 Asian financial crisis to help defend their respective currencies and prop up their reserves.
