imported fuel


extra tip: paano mo malalaman na maganda ang profit ng isa tindahan? tignan mo gano kalamig yung aircon sa tindahan nila, example: mercury drug, meralco business office, call centers, etc

kapag pumasok ka sa isang establishment na naka aircon at ma init ay mag backout ka na agad, example: mga fast food na sira ang aircon

but are we the only one relying on imported fuel to power one's electricity industry?
why don't the others have our same high cost of electricity?

so explain japan ang SK dun sa post above

wala pa covid ay may financial crisis na ang japan, same with SK...

[uls]

ngayon financial crisis

sabi mo covid response

mas maganda pala covid response ng pinas kesa japan and sk kaya mas maliit depreciation ng peso kesa JPY and KRW

-

kung may financial crisis ang Japan and SK pre-covid, paki elaborate anong crisis yun at anong epekto sa trade balance and currencies nila

i was waiting for someone to point that out

in the graph posted by Monseratto, the currencies of Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia depreciated least coz they all have trade surpluses

Vietnam Balance of Trade - August 222 Data - 199-221 Historical

Singapore Balance of Trade - August 222 Data - 1964-221 Historical

Indonesia Balance of Trade - August 222 Data - 196-221 Historical

but Japan and South Korea are export oriented economies they should have trade surpluses right?

why did their currencies depreciate so much more?

coz their trade balance flipped to deficit

Japan Balance of Trade - August 222 Data - 1963-221 Historical - September Forecast

South Korea Balance of Trade - August 222 Data - 1966-221 Historical


unbelievable ba?

the home of toyota and nissan and sony...

the home of samsung and hyundai...

they're running trade deficits
