- W1990336985 abstract "In August 1984 the Philippines faced its worst balance-of-payments crisis since the end of the Second World War. Foreign exchange reserves were virtually depleted in the latter part of 1983, as international banking flows came to a standstill. In October of that year, a 90-day moratorium on amortization of external debt was declared. Since then, the moratorium has been extended thrice, pending the approval by the International Monetary Fund of a $635 million standby loan and the rescheduling of the country’s debt with its other creditors. This crisis is the culmination of mounting current account deficits for at least six years. The worsening of the current account was due in part to a severe deterioration in the country’s terms of trade and in part to a policy response that relied heavily on foreign borrowing to the neglect of other adjustment measures. Not only did such borrowing finance the perceived investment requirements of the country’s growth strategy; it also financed an accumulation of exchange reserves that for a time prevented any real depreciation of the peso. This paper provides an account of the Philippine macroeconomic experience leading to the current difficulties, and pays special attention to the relationships between external shocks and domestic policy responses. With the aid of a simple forecasting model, the paper also makes a preliminary assessment of the country’s mediumterm growth prospects in the light of the shortterm austerity measures being adopted to resolve the debt problem. The next section presents an overview of the balance of payments as it evolved between 1971 and 1983 and broadly indicated the role of external shocks and domestic policies. Section 3 subsequently focuses on the current account by applying a decomposition analysis. Section 4 inquires more deeply into the developments between 1979 and 1983 by conducting counterfactual exercises to isolate the effects of various external shocks and policy responses. Section 5 reports on the simulation of a simple forecasting model designed to evaluate the country’s growth prospects, and Section 6 contains the concluding remarks." @default.
