MANILA — Surge in inward shipments of mineral fuels and lubricants, capital and consumer goods are among the factors that buoyed value of products bought outside the country last May, the country’s chief planning agency recently said.
Snapping two consecutive months of year-on-year decline, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said imports in May posted a 10.1-percent growth or $5.4 billion from US$4.9 billion in the same period last year.
The value of overseas purchases of mineral fuels and lubricants went up by 88.1 percent year-on-year to $1.3 billion due to the increased volume that grew by 53.2 percent from the same period in 2011.
Also, imports of capital goods reached $1.4 billion, higher by 19.9 percent compared to $1.2 billion in the same period last year.
Specifically, increased import payments have been seen for telecommunication equipment and electrical machinery (23 percent), aircraft, ships and boats (94.6 percent), transportation equipment (35.6 percent), and power generating and specialized machines (7.9 percent).
“The sustained growth in imports of capital goods was due to the broadly upbeat sentiments of businesses on the back of robust expansion and higher volume of production,” said Balisacan, who is also the Director General of the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda).
Moreover, imports of consumer goods grew by 1.5 percent to $660.4 million in May from $650.5 million a year ago, supported by imports of durable goods, like passenger cars and motorized cycle.
Citing a report from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (Campi), car sales increased by 30.7 percent year-on-year in May with 14,265 units sold.
The United States remains the biggest supplier of imported goods with 12.1-percent share in the total value of inward shipments. Import items from the US consist mainly of materials for manufacture of electronics and telecommunication equipment and electrical machinery.
China followed the US with an 11.1-percent share. Other major sources of imported goods include South Korea (10.5 percent), Japan (9 percent) and Taiwan (8.8 percent) while neighboring Southeast Asian countries comprise a quarter. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
