kulang govt spending

govt created new taxes which pulled a lot of money from the private sector

they should spend it back into the economy

consumer spending is strong but the private sector can't do it all

Bangko Sentral announces another cut in banks' reserve requirement | Philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas announced Friday a new round of reduction in the amount of cash banks must hold as reserves in a bid to inject more liquidity into the financial system amid easing inflation and concerns about economic growth.

The BSP said it decided to trim the reserve requirement ratio, or RRR, by 100 basis points (one percentage point) to 15% for universal banks, 5% for thrift banks and 3% for rural banks effective November.

lower RRR means banks can lend out more money
