IMF urges continued buildup of forex reserves

THE INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund has urged the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to further beef up its gross international reserves, now at a record high of $23.76 billion, while maintaining a flexible exchange rate policy.

In its 2006 country report, the IMF executive board said the BSP's current policy to deal with the upward pressure on the exchange rate was "broadly appropriate" but cited the merits of further building up the GIR while the foreign inflows were strong.

"Going forward, we urge continued exchange rate flexibility, even though further reserve accumulation might be justified given that the exchange rate does not appear to be mis-aligned," the IMF board said.

The peso is now trading at a six-year high against the US dollar. On Friday, the local currency peaked at 48.265 before closing at 48.305 to $1.

If you are going to survive in these boisterious times then you have to learn how to beat the system at its own game. I found a great website for learning to trade options and just found out they will soon be offering Forex courses as well. You can see the new website, still under construction, and get a feel for what they do at http://www.optionsuniversity.com
