Sen. Francis Escudero raised his eyebrows over the uncertainties in the return on equity that two state-owned banks would be mandated to place in the envisioned Maharlika Investment Fund. | MRamosINQ /PDI
“The question is simple: Will the [MIF] give more than what these two banks are presently earning from their investments?” Escudero said in a statement.
The measure, he reiterated, should put in more guarantees on the return on investment since the two state banks would be compelled to bankroll the MIF. “If a ten-peso headache pill carries [a] therapeutic guarantee, then why can’t a fund with a price tag in the hundreds of billions [of pesos] do the same?” he said.
