Philippines Posts $2.3 Billion Balance of Payments Deficit in November 2024The Philippines recorded a $2.3 billion balance of payments (BOP) deficit in November 2024, a significant jump from the $216 million deficit in the same month last year. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) attributed the deficit to the national government's foreign currency withdrawals to settle debt obligations and expenditures, as well as the BSP's net foreign exchange operations. Despite the November deficit, the cumulative BOP position from January to November 2024 still showed a surplus of $2.1 billion. Lower net receipts from trade in services and government net foreign borrowing contributed to the decline in the cumulative surplus. However, this was partially offset by continued net inflows from personal remittances, foreign portfolio investments, and direct investments. The BOP position resulted in a decrease in the gross international reserves (GIR) to $108.5 billion as of end-November 2024, from $111.1 billion at the end of October 2024. Despite the decrease, the GIR still provides a more than adequate external liquidity buffer equivalent to 7.7 months' worth of imports and payments of services and primary income.
