While generous credit incentives are granted to these public or semi-public institutions they were more effectively Covered by the legal

ceiling on loan and deposit rates.

Other financial institutions

in contrast were more innovative in issuing instruments not legally restricted by law om Central Bank rules.

This policy on financial development has been criticized by Tsiang (1975) and Tan (197_

1976).

The credit and interest rate policy

on commercial and rural banks has virtually given them opportunities for earning monopoly profits.

In Tan's work she enumerated and described

briefly the various forms of intervention on financial institutions. These are regulations on their establishments, portfolio ratios to be maintained and the rates of interest to be paid on deposits.

The

controls imposed seem not to be consistent with the objective of developing the financial market.

Examples Of these are: commercial and rural

banks are given discounting incentives for expanding their loanable funds.

At the same time they are restricted from offering deposit rates

high enough to attract placement of savings in deposits.

In response to

these two inconsistent regulations, banks _elied on discounting rather than to borrowing larger amounts from a bigger number of depositors. This is specially t_ue of rural banks which are allowed lower discount rates than the ceilings on deposits.

A second inconsistency Tan cited

is the policy to expand credit while simul#taneously fixing both loan and deposit rates at low levels.

of the Bank's

failure

onsaying:

"For the past 17 years, since the Central Bank was organized in1949, we have tried to develop an active government securities market in this country. We have a department in the Central Bank, the Securities Market Department, which was organized precisely to perform this job. We have tried our best to educate the public in dealing -a in the buying and selling of government bonds; but in spite of our efforts, we have not quite succeeded in reaching a desirable stage where government securities could be bought and sold as a means of monetary control. If there were securities in the past that the government saw fit to issue, we tried to market the securities as best we could and to get them accepted by the economic community at large. We have employees in the Securities Market Department who go around the country telling the people what government bonds are and _ncourag_ng them to save part of their incomes by buying 4% R _ D Bonds which still form the backbone of the securities market in this country. Despite such efforts we have not been able to drum up enough enthusiasm to influence the community to invest an increasing portion of their income in government securities. Today, with interest rates soaring to unheard of levels, a 4% bond may appear unattractive as a form of saving even in rural communities and inspite of the safety feature and other guarantees it carries. And it is for this reason perhaps why only the banks and theCentral Bank are the main holders of this type of government security today. Banks have purchased them mostly, if not exclusively, for reserve purposes but not as an investment which could be counted upon %o yield a return attractive to the stock' holders. While we have issued almost all types of government securities which you would find in a highly developed country such as treasury bills, certificates of indebtedness, treasury notes and !ong-tez_n bonds, they are merely forerunners of what we should really trade in more actively in the years to come. Treasury bills have been issued -- for that matter, all types of government securities have been issued at fixed prices, at fixed rates of interest, and except for one issue these have been bought by buyers showing different degrees of willingness. In most cases, we have had to use persuasion, or disguised threats, to make them invest in these govez_ment securities.


36

But to a Central Bank, it is really the treasury bill that should foz_ the core of open market operations. This type of security should be well-known in the financial community and should be freely traded in as a means not only of investment, but as a means of influencing money supply and the credit operations of the financial institutions in this country."

It might be instructive term market

of the short-

in the seminar.

a)

"Number one, we want to harness cash flow. Corporations hot money: 3-day money, 17-day money, 22-day money which put effectively to use in a short-term money market."

b)

_'Second_ weVd like to employ some of the excess reserves of the banks. Now_ admittedly, an occasion, there is no such thing as excess reserves. However, on a Friday_ there's invariably some money that could be invested ove_ the weekend. Some only for short spans -- 15-day, 18-day, 22-day periods, but the funds are availabl_ for employment at a rate."

c)

"Third, we want to create market liquidity. We want to create an instrument which is money good on the spot, which has a free market_ is quoted regularly, that each investor has ready access to."

d)

_'We want to establish a key rate. In the U.So, the key rate is the 90-day bill Pate. Other rates are geared to this. Of course, from a Central Bank view, the key rate is the discount rate, and private loans and other market loans are geared from that level."

e)

"Another objective of the money market is to enable to perform its open market operations effectively. great care to read the Central Bank Act."

f)

"What is a money market dependent upon? This would be the next logical step, and first and foremost is the fact that there should be a flow of short-term funds seeking temporary investments. These short-term funds can come from any source you want. Again, the insurance company, the corporation, the bank. I repeat the same names. They do have funds on occasion. This would give you your flow of funds ."

also recognized He argued as

follows: Now_ what are the prerequisites of effective market operations especially in a developing country like ours? First, to my mind_ would be the availability of an adequate supply and variety of securities that should be freely traded. Seeondly_ there must be a flexible interest rate system which should respond not only to The type of security offered but also to the availability of funds for investment. And then the securities that are Traded must not be fixed in price as they are Today. Except for one issue -- the 7% government bond -- all the prices were fixed in at par in the past. And even the first attempt to sell a security that should have been sold without any fixed price did not quite succeed in attaining that objective. A Third requisite may be the development and g_owth of specialized institutions which would assume the risks of the market. f

There are different procedures in open market Operations. In some centers, central banks deal with private intermediaries such as dealers_ discount houses or brokers. This is the case in Canada and England and the United States. Private intermediaries who deal in these securities obtain their funds through short-ter_n loans from banks. In addition the market may also include private companies with excess funds who may wish to use them to purchase liquid but interestyielding securities. Sometimes the Central Bank grants advances To be used in these transactions. In other cases, a sale of government securities carmies a repurchase agreement by the Central Bank. Many central banks deal directly with commercial banks who become the principal agents of underw_ _nd secumities dealers. In other countries, central

the


38

banks deal with the specialized public institutions. This holds true in Belgium where a public intermediary has been established by the Central Bank to deal in government securiTies. Certain features of this method might be considered in establishing an active market for government securities in the Philippines. Of coumse, I suppose the procedure _at will be adopted will aim to develop a market by "feel" and will be directed towards determining the most f_uitful and most effective means of drumming up enough interest in treasury bills and other government securities here.

He also explained

in the follwoing

statements

why the market

did not develop. "The market has not been developed because, usually_ the government is unable or unwilling (or both) to borrow at current rates of interest. As of the end of 1965, 69 per cent of outstanding issues carried interest rates of 4% and below. It is our objective to decrease this percentage and see that these securities are sold at current mamkeT prices째 Moreover, government securities a_e not regularly issued at_ say every 90 days or every year or some other fixed period. They are issued only when the government needs additional resources to meet its obligations rather than in responds to the liquidity requirements of the economy. I believe it is about time that we adopt a more sophisticated system and develop a wider and deeper securities market here so that government issues can serve not only as a means of satisfying the financial requirements of the government but also as an instrument of monetary management.

A.

The Interest Rate Structure

Any study of interest rate structure in the Philippines must start with the Central Bank regulations.

The Central Bank seems to

pursue a low interest rate policy but no clear statement has been made to this effect.

What it has clearly pursued is the development of special-

ized institutions by granting them credit incentives.

Up to the mid 80s

interest rates on loans seemed to be below the Usury Law ceiling of 12 and 14 per cent _or secured and unseoured ioans_

The deposit rates,

rediscounting and government bond rates up to 1960 cannot be considered to be below the market rate.

The regulated rates became untenable from

the mid 60s to the present as demand for credit increased and inflation rate rendered the regulated real rates negative.

The Central Bank

responded to these events by a gradual upward adjustment in nominal rates as seen in Table 4. The

adjustments seem to be modest compromises to

disequilibrium in the market.

The Central Bank response also took the

form of increasing the coverage of its regulaeion.

The contrast is

best shown by comparing the extent of regulation during the Cuaderno era and presently. th_.... _

In the first era, monetary control was mainly quantitative

selective credit incentive was givcn to a few priority sectors.

These incentives might not have had a substantial impact as the market rate then prevailing was relatively low.

Between 1976 and 1978 a longer
