日媒：基础设施腐败重创菲律宾经济

【环球时报特约记者：责任强】“致命风暴和腐败拖累了经济，菲律宾民众的不满情绪正在酝酿之中。”日本《日经亚洲评论》10日报道称，大范围的基础设施建设丑闻对该国经济造成严重破坏，严重削弱了菲律宾的增长潜力。上周五公布的官方数据显示，菲律宾第三季度经济仅增长4.0%，低于去年同期录得的5.24%，也是自2021年covid-19疫情较低以来的最慢扩张。路透社分析称，低于预期的数据反映出基础设施丑闻严重损害了消费者和投资者的信心。今年7月，菲律宾总统马科斯下令对全国防洪工程涉嫌腐败问题进行调查，涉及数十名参议员和前国会议员。雅阁丁g to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, a large number of government projects involving roads, bridges, flood control systems and school renovations received large budgets, but were not completed, were of poor quality, or were even falsely declared as "completed." Citing estimates from the Department of Finance of the Philippines, the media reported that corruption in flood control projects alone caused economic losses of approximately 118.5 billion pesos (10 Philippine pesos, approximately 1.2 yuan) as of 2023. Total losses in the public infrastructure sector from 2022 to 2025 are approximately 623.5 Billion Pesos, equivalent to in almost 10% of the NationalBudget in 2025 exceeds the整个教育预算。据报道，自调查启动以来，尚未有人受到指控。随着暴风雨和洪水的持续发生，公众的不满情绪与日俱增。 《日经亚洲评论》报道称，菲律宾比索近期大幅下跌，反映出市场信心不断增强。市场参与者关注菲律宾的稳定。 The Pilipinas Central Bank said on October 28 that the sharp decline of the Peso "may reflect market concerns that economic growth may slow, due in part to the controversy over infrastructure spending and expectations for further monetary policy easing." Philippine media "Philstar Global" reported that the Philippine Statistics Authority and the Department of Economic Affairs and Development of the Philippines said that corruption has dragged down the growth ofthe country's economy to its lowest point since the epidemic.该国当季GDP增速仅为4.0%。 If the epidemic period is not included, the current growth rate is the lowest level since 2011 (growth rate of 3.0%), far from reaching the 5.5% annual growth target set by the government.菲律宾经济事务与发展部表示，腐败丑闻曝光后，公共建设增长消费领域收缩26.1%，为2011年以来的最低水平，导致服务业和工业领域增长放缓。政府对账单支付和项目资金支付提出了更严格的要求。消费者信心也受到影响，家庭消费放缓。菲律宾规划与发展部部长阿森尼奥·巴里坎(Arsenio Baliscan)表示，菲律宾今年正在努力实现政府设定的5.5%增长目标的下限。菲律宾《马尼拉时报》10日发表评论，讨论现任政府的经济困境。报道提到，杜特尔特执政期间，政府努力吸引跨国企业，特别是中国企业作为龙头企业支持菲律宾供应商。但出于政府的地缘政治考虑，中国跨国公司和越来越多的西方跨国公司认为，菲律宾的经济和地缘政治风险非常高。结果，原本可以流向菲律宾的投资最终流向了该地区的越南、马来西亚和泰国。
