[Title] => NFA up for major restructuring
[Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) is up for a major restructuring to ease the weight of its impact on the government’s consolidated public sector deficit, government officials said yesterday.
Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima said NFA contributed P27 billion to the 2004 consolidated debt and the government loses an average of P2 billion a year in subsidies.
"This is too much for a trading company," Purisima said. "We need to instill discipline on government owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs). NFA itself needs restructuring."
