[Title] => Imports up 16.5% to $4.46B in July on higher oil prices
[Summary] => The country’s imports rose 16.5 percent to $4.46 billion in July, reflecting higher crude oil prices, the National Statistics Office (NSO) reported yesterday.
The trade deficit widened to $508 million compared with a deficit of $330 million in July last year.

[Title] => Inflation slows to 6.4% in July
[Summary] =>
Inflation slowed to 6.4 percent in July, its lowest level in two years, from 6.7 percent in June, the National Statistics Office reported yesterday, raising the prospect that interest rates will remain steady.
The slowdown was attributed mainly to easing food prices.
The July figure came in at the lower end of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) projected range of 6.3 to seven percent and was the lowest since June 2004 when it hit 5.4 percent, the NSO said.

[Title] => New BSP chief to tread in predecessor’s footsteps
[Summary] => Amando Tetangco has big shoes to fill when he takes over as Philippine central bank governor tomorrow, and he could hardly have a more hazardous path ahead. Markets are unnerved by a political scandal that has enveloped President Arroyo and which threatens to overshadow her limited success in reforming the economy and wean it off foreign debt.
But analysts and market players are confident that Tetangco, with nearly 30 years’ experience of central banking through uprisings, coups and currency crises, can take the pressure.

[Summary] => The country’s imports recorded slower growth in May from a five-year high in April but were sufficient enough to signal that a tentative recovery in manufacturing was at least being maintained, economists said yesterday.
