FocusPHL excels in 7 out of 8
competitiveness indices
The Philippines improved
in seven out of eight global
competitiveness indices
for 2013, the National Competitiveness
Council (NCC) reported.
Out of eight major competitivenessreports released last year,
we recorded gains in seven of them
and held ground in one. This is
the first year this has been done,
NCC Private Sector Co-Chairman
Guillermo M. Luz said.
Among the seven competitiveness
rankings where the Philippines
improved, it was in the Ease
of Doing Business Report, producedannually by the World Bank (WB)
and International Finance Corp.
(IFC), where the country advanced
the most last year.
From 138thplace, the country
improved by 30 spots to 108th
out of 189 economies on the list,
which tracks changes in regulations
on domestic small and
medium-sized companies.
The country, WB Philippines
Country Director Motoo Konishi
said, had accomplished
more than any other country
measuredlast year.
This is the first major improvement
for the Philippines in the Doing
Business ranking since the report
started 11 years ago,Konishi said.
The other competitiveness rankings
where the Philippines clinched
higher positions were:
World Economic Forums (WEF)Global Competitiveness Index
(up six places to 59thout of 148
economies);
International Institute for
Management and Developments
2013 World Competitiveness
Yearbook (up six places
to 38thout of 60);
Transparency InternationalsCorruption Perception Index(up 11 places to 94thout of 177);
Heritage Foundations Indexof Economic Freedom
(up five places to 97thout of 177);
WEFs Travel and TourismCompetitiveness Report
(up 12 places to 82ndout of 140); and
World Intellectual PropertyOrganizations Global Innovation
Index (up five places to 90thout of 142).
Luz said much of the gains
were the result of joint effortsby the public and private sector over
the last three years.
With the jumps in the rankings,
Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI) Secretary Gregory
L. Domingosaid the goal to be
in the top third by 2016 is something
that is not a stretch target anymore.
This target has become quiteachievable, and we may even surpass
this target significantly. We are now
in a position to take off because
of our infrastructure, business
procedures, and legal system.
We are still behind developed
countries, but we are significantly
ahead of many of our peers,
Domingo said.
The Philippine economy
has so far expanded above its 6%-7%
target, averaging 7.4% in the first three
quarters of 2013. For 2014 and 2015,
the government is targeting gross
domestic product (GDP) growth rates
of 6.5%-7.5% and 7%-8%, respectively.
Domingo said higher competitiveness
rankings will also place
the Philippines in a better position
come the planned economic
integration of the 10-member
Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN) in 2015 since
the country is already more competitive
now than some of its neighbors.

approvals seen
Inside DTI1. DTI launches
e-payment
for BN registration
The Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI)
has launched the electronic
payment (e-payment) facility
for business name (BN) registration
to make it easier for entrepreneurs
to start a business in the country.
Through this e-payment facility,
entrepreneurs may register
their BN without the need
to visit the DTI office.
Currently, the DTI has enlisted
both Globes GCash and Bancnet
for this e-Payment facility.
In assuring entrepreneurs
of an enabling business environment,the government is gathering
institutions and partners from the
private sector to work on key reform
areas in line with President Benigno
S. Aquino IIIs policy thrust anchored
on good governance and
transparency,DTI Secretary
Gregory L. Domingosaid.
The e-payment facility for BN
registration is one of the projectsthat the DTI is implementing
to simplify the process of dealing
with the government as entrepreneurs
start and run their businesses,
Domingo added.
He said the DTI aims to create
a favorable environment
for both foreign and local businesses
to flourish.
DTI Undersecretary for
Management Services Group
(MSG) Nora K. Terradosaid
after migrating the Enhanced
Business Name Registration System
(eBNRS) and Philippine Business
Registry System (PBRS) to the cloud
environment in 2013, the DTI
enhanced these systems
to make them robust for additional
functionalities and services
such as the e-payment facility.
With this e-payment facility in place,
entrepreneurs can apply and renew
their BN without going to the DTI
offices, and enjoy the convenience
of paying the applicable fees online
through their computers or mobile
phones, Terrado said.
The e-payment facility
was made possible in partnershipwith BancNet, Development Bank
of the Philippines (DBP), Globe
Xchange, Inc. (GXI), and Landbank
of the Philippines (LBP).
She also said that registering
a BN can also be done online
through the PBRS website at
www.business.gov.ph where
entrepreneurs can avail themselves
of other government-related servicessuch as Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN) validation and/or
creation with the Bureau
of Internal Revenue (BIR)
and application of Employers
Registration Number (ERN)
with Pag-IBIG Fund, PhilHealth,
and Social Security System (SSS)
in less than 40 minutes.
Last year, the DTI registered 335,266
new and renewing BNs.
Of this, a total of 41,658 new
and existing BNs registered
through the PBRS.
The Board of Investments (BOI)
is eyeing at least a 10-% hike
in project approvals this year
to reach P443B as it expects more
robust activities from localand foreign firms.
Last year, BOI-approved projects
amounted to P403.17B largely
due to the rise in the number of
capital-intensive power generation
projects.
A 10-% growth is a reasonablegrowth projection for approved
investments. What we aim
for, however, is its impact in terms
of stable and decent jobs for a more

3. DTI to organize more
trade fairs in 2014
inclusive growth,Department
of Trade and Industry (DTI)
Undersecretary for Industry
Development and Trade Policy
Group (IDTPG) Adrian S.
Cristobal Jr. said.
The momentum could be attributed
to the strong domestic consumption
coming from the sheer size of the
domestic market, reconstruction
spending, and the expected increase
in infrastructure spending; and to the
countrys stable macroeconomic
condition, Cristobal said .
He added the global economys
expected modest growth,the United States (U.S.) improving
economic performance, Japans
continued recovery due to the
so-called Abenomics, China
and South Koreas strong growth,
and the fast growth expected
in Southeast Asia could boost
investment growth in the country.
In terms of sectors, the growth drivers
will most likely be the construction,business process outsourcing (BPO),
telecommunications, wholesale
and retail trade, consumer durables,
housing, tourism, and the whole
manufacturing sector,he said.
Foreign direct investments (FDIs)
are also expected to continue
to increase, while exports are seen
to recover.
DTI Secretary Gregory L.
Domingo said he expectedthe countrys FDIs to grow by
as much as 20% this year to USD
4.8B on the back of foreign investors
increased interest in the Philippines.
Wherever we go, there is such
a huge interest in the Philippines
from foreign investors. We went
to Europe earlier and just came
back from Japan, where we met
with representatives of variouscompanies. There was evidently
overwhelming interest.
It was almost too good
to be true,Domingo said.
For 2013, Domingo is confident
that the Philippines could surpass
the FDI target of about USD 4B,
43% higher than the actual FDIs
in 2012 of USD 2.8B. As of end-
September 2013, FDI flows stoodat USD 3.1B, which was 10% higher
than the year-ago level.
To boost domestic trade
for the countrys micro, small,
and medium enterprises
(MSMEs), the Department of Trade
and Industry-Bureau of DomesticTrade (DTI-BDT) is planning
to organize more domestic trade
fairs this year.
DTI Undersecretary for Trade
and Investment Promotions
Group (TIPG) Ponciano C. Manalo
Jr.said the DTI intends to have six
domestic trade fairs in priority sectors
such as food, fashion, arts,
and furniture and furnishings for 2014.
Last year, we organized two
domestic trade fairs to provide
opportunities for our MSMEs
to sell their products in the domestic
market and eventually make their way
in the international market,
Manalo said.
Through national food
and handicrafts fairs under its new
Sikat Pinoybrand, the DTI brought
together 577 MSMEs
from the countrys 16 regions.
To encourage market expansion
of thriving MSMEs supported by the
BDT, we will continue to facilitate their
participation in international trade
fairs such as the International FoodExhibition (IFEX) and the Manila
Furnishings and Apparel
Manufacturers Exchange (FAME),
Manalo said.

Manalo added that aside
from promoting their products
in these fairs, fair participants
will also be provided with product
design and development services.
We will also continue to organizeproduct-sourcing missions
to facilitate trade between MSMEs
and buyers from big trading houses
and consolidators. These missions
were also designed to provide
MSMEs with useful information
to improve their product
marketability,Manalo said.

He also mentioned that DTI will carry
on its merchandise consultancy or
clinics wherein trade experts advise
micro and small enterprises on
product quality, competitiveness,
and promotion. In 2013, these
marketing clinics were organized
for enterprises in the Cordilleras
and community-based associations
from Sulu, Sultan Kudarat,Maguindanao, and Palawan.
To further promote homegrown
products, the BDT will continue
to provide its direct matching
services and organize workshops
and seminars on marketing
for MSMEs. It will also operate
the new Domestic Trade Exchange
Portlet (DTEx) to provide trade fair
information, process fair applications,
and perform market-matching activities.
Manalo also said the DTI
will maintain its showroom for
MSMEs as well as trade and industry
associations to display and sell their
products during the entire year.

Manalo also mentioned that through
collaborative efforts with the private
sector and local government units
(LGUs), DTI continued to promoteand monitor the Tindahang Pinoy
stores in Cebu, Davao,
and Pampanga.
Through these stores, we intend
to provide MSMEs with a venue
to promote the best homegrown
products from various regions
through an organized supply
channel,Manalo said.
Last year, these stores offered 1,427
products and additional 489 products
available online, with total sales
amounting to P12M.
The countrys exports grew
18.9% to USD 4.3B
in November 2013
from USD 3.6B a year ago,
fuelled by the double-digit growthof agricultural products and
manufactured goods, according
to the National Statistics Office (NSO).
The buoyant export performance
of manufactured products, driven
primarily by electronics, reflects gains
from the revival of the manufacturing
sector as one of our growth drivers,Economic Planning Secretary
Arsenio M. Bal isacan said.

Exports of manufactured goods
sustained a double-digit growth
of 16.9% in November 2013,
registering a total value of USD 3.7B
during the period.
Export growth drivers in Nov 2013
Manufactured goods- electronic products- garments- wood manufactures- chemicals- machinery and transport equipment
Agricultural products- bananas- fish products- centrifugal and refined sugar- desiccated coconut
- tobacco
Electronics, which comprised
over half of exports receipts
from manufactured goods,
was up by 10%, consistent
with the projected gradual recovery
in worldwide sales of personal
computers and an uptick
in global consumer confidence.
Exports agro-based products
grew by 38.1% to USD 265.4Min November 2013 from USD 192.2M
in the comparable period in 2012.
On a related note, National Economic
and Development Authority (NEDA)
reported the countrys export earnings
could post double-digit full-year
growth this year on the back of base
effects and the recovery
in the United States (U.S.).
This is because of a low base
and if the recovery in the U.S.
proceeds. Recovery in Europe is not
yet there. Indirectly, theyre still your

The Philippines bested other East
and Southeast Asian countries
in terms of export growth
in November. Balisacan said
Viet Nam and China posted export
growths of 15% and 12.7%,
respectively, in November 2013.
We were the top export performer

Metro Manila has emerged
as one of the top five real
estate investment
destinations in Asia-Pacific,
according to a report published
by the Urban Land Institute (ULI)
and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The Emerging Trends in Real Estate
Asia-Pacific 2014 report showed
Metro Manila went up eight places
from the previous year to rank
4thin terms of investment prospects
for real estate.
The report, which covered 23 urban
areas in Asia-Pacific, showed
Metro Manila placing 8thin terms
of development prospects.
The rankings are based on the survey
and personal interviews of 250
of the most influential leaders
in the real estate industry.
Manila is among the big movers
in the survey given the success
in the impact of the business process
outsourcing (BPO) and strong gross
domestic product (GDP) growth,
ULI Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) for Asia Pacific John
Fitzgerald said.
The report cited the latest resultthat showed investors growing
awareness that the problems long
associated with lack of transparency
and governance issues in the country
have improved.

MSME News1. China looks to source
seaweeds from PHL
Seaweed producers
in Mindanao are encouraged
to increase their production
to meet the supply demand
of Chinese businesspeople.
Together with Chinese
and Filipino-Chinese businesspeople
who showed keen interest
in the Butuan Citys seaweed
production, the Peoples Republicof China (PRC) Consulate General
had visited the province recently.
The existing local seaweed industry
production is, however, insufficient
to supply Chinas requirements,
so much so that even local buyers
for carrageenan production import
from Indonesia to meet their needs.
Produced from dried seaweedsfor consumer and industrial use,
carrageenan is exported by local
manufacturers to China, Europe,
and the United States (U.S.).
Dried seaweed currently fetches
a price of P36-P46 per kilo while
species of seaweed sold fresh
for use as side table dish is priced
at P4-P5 per kilo.
The seaweed industry cluster looks
to boost support for seaweed farmers
by the local officials of Samal
by setting a meeting with local officials
to discuss projects and hopefully signa memorandum of understanding
(MOU). (MAB 01/11)

This paper develops a new measure
of credit-constrained status for firms
using hard data instead of perception
data. It classifies firms into fourordinal categories not credit
constrained, maybe credit
constrained, partially credit
constrained, and fully credit
constrained to understand
the characteristics of the firms
that fall into each group. It also tries
to explain what type of credit SMEs
use to finance their working capital
and their investments. It provides
an innovative way of measuring creditconstrained firms based both on their
usage of and ability to obtain new
credit. 39p
