SENATORS prodded economic managers on Monday to move fast on the privatization of assets that they described as “less controversial” sources of seed funding for the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund , encouraged by an initial priority list that was provided them, which could raise a total of P130 billion in three years.
More especially, added Gatchalian, there should be no need to bother the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to pour in its dividends into the fund, given projections that this would delay the mandated capitalization buildup of the BSP by nine years. “What calculations did you make that made you willing to delay your capitalization buildup by nine years” if the BSP is mandated by the proposed Maharlika law to pour in its dividends into the Fund? asked Gatchalian.
He noted that the size of the Philippine banking industry “was the main reason” for ramping up the BSP capitalization buildup program several years ago, and stretching this process over a long period would further put the central bank in an awkward situation of being dwarfed by the assets of the entities it regulates.Also at the hearing, senators Nancy Binay and Risa Hontiveros inquired at length into the mandate and operations of the National Development Corp.
