The National Government’s (NG) budget gap narrowed in March as revenue collection and spending grew by double digits, the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) reported on Wednesday. READ:

cit shrank by 1.44% to P316.8 billion, from P321.5 billion during the same period in 2021.

Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort said that the reopening of the economy enabled the government to increase tax collections in the first quarter. He noted government spending on the pandemic response may have declined after the implementation of granular lockdowns. “Revenue growth can be tied to the 107% increase of borrowing linked to a retail treasury bond issuance and the 70.8% jump in BoC due to more expensive fuel,” Mr. Mapa said.

The country has borrowed P1.31 trillion and received grants worth P2.7 billion for its COVID-19 response from 2020 to Jan. 14, 2022.
