I wonder how much our total gross nonperforming loans is now.
More bad news.
"FASTER increases in the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages pushed the country’s headline inflation rate higher to 5.2 percent in June, breaching the high end of central bank’s forecast.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Thursday, July 5, said the June inflation rate is higher than the 4.6 percent recorded in May 2018 and more than double the June 2017 rate of 2.5 percent."
"The Department of Finance (DOF) has assured, however, that the 15-percent average increase in the disposable income of salaried workers due to the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train) law has “more than fully offset” the 4.1-percent average increase in prices as of May. "

How do banks get their investment back when you default? Sa bahay medyo clear pa since nag aapreciate ang value. Sa kotse, lugi na sa depreciation at naka park lang sa initan. Di naman ganon kalaki ang difference ng bidding sa banks at current market value.

usually people think of inflation as prices going up
don't forget loan creation/credit creation is inflationary
more new money goes into circulation goes to chase limited supply of goods = inflation
so a central bank that wants to tame inflation should discourage borrowing by raising interest rates
which our central bank is doing in tiny steps (only two 25 bps rates hikes recently)
and that's why i keep raising the issue about BSP cutting RRR which is the opposite of trying to discourage bank lending
Bec its not about the money, some 10 years ago, most Pinoys have less access to money, pero nun nagkarin ng pagkakataon, some or mostof these people contributed or became productive for the economy.
Its not money that makes the world move, its still the people, honest to goodness manual labor.
look at what happened in 2008, if the world froze coz of the possibility of default, mas apocalyptic.
Right now, we are just talking about percentages, interest hikes and inflation increase.
What is that really? Kahit ano pa sabihin ng mga analytics, talo yan ng isang grupo ng tao na nagtatrabaho manually coz labor can multiply a loaned money tenfold or twentyfold. Sa finance world , malabo na kumita ng even 10% sa invested money ngaun.
One component of The build build program is hard manial labor of most Pinoys na kung wala yan tambay lang.
I think you all missed this part kaya may fear of doomand gloom kayo sa economy.
if nobody deployed capital to build something or put up a business manual labor will be sitting around playing tong-its

there's too much money in circulation
one contributor you cannot ignore is the large salary increase in PNP and AFP (which started in January this year)
suddenly hundreds of thousands of households have more money to spend

ImHO increasing interest rates will translate to borrowers defaulting on their existing loans or lowering of appetite for investing in real estate or buying new cars. The banks will end up owning a huge chunk of properties which will bring market prices down. Then the bubble will burst.

Regarding default on loans, we're still a long way off from our neighbor, India. Single digit vs double digit.
"However, the foundation of any economy is its banking sector, and India is in crisis. The most recent figures show that India has the second highest—behind Italy—bank nonperforming loan rate in the world at 11.6 percent. Philippine banks have a 1.8 percent NPL as of March 2018."
