STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

PROLOGUE

The Status Report on the Philippine Financial System is a semestral report prepared by the Office of Supervisory Policy Development (OSPD), Supervision and Examination Sector, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), and is submitted by the Governor to the President and the Congress in compliance with Section 39 (c), Article V of the New Central Bank Act (R.A. No. 7653).

This report is basically culled from the various periodic reports submitted by BSP supervised/regulated institutions submitted to the BSP Statistical Data Center (SDC), Supervision and Examination Sector. At end-December 2004, BSP supervised/regulated Financial Institutions consisted of 893 banks with 6,719 branches and other offices, 5,879 non- bank financial institutions (NBFIs) with 5,696 branches and 9 offshore banking units (OBUs) with one other office (Schedule 1).

Effective 3 July 1998, the supervision and regulation of the BSP over non-banking entities were turned over to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for corporations and partnerships, and to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for single proprietorships, in accordance with Section 30 of R.A. No. 7653, except the following: non-banks with quasi- banking functions and/or with trust or Investment Management Activities (IMA) license, non- banks which are subsidiaries/affiliates of banks and quasi-banks, non-stock savings and loan associations, pawnshops and venture capital corporations. Likewise, the supervision and regulation over building and loan associations were transferred to the Home Guarantee Corporation effective 7 February 2002, in accordance with Section 94 of R.A. No. 8791 (The General Banking Law of 2000).

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM: AN ASSESSMENT

The Philippine financial system remained stable and managed to grow broadly in line with the continuing recovery of the economy. The improving, albeit uneven, economic conditions continued to test the resiliency of the banking system. However, the hard numbers generated by the banking sector for the year somewhat belie the current challenging environment and are in fact encouraging as these indicate that the banking reform measures in the past years are gradually making a difference.

Overall, the banking sector in 2004 sustained its recovery and further improved its performance with profitability indicators at comfortable levels and other growth fundamentals consistently improving amidst the difficult economic environment. Banks in particular remained focused on their core expertise and strategic in taking advantage of potential alternative markets resulting to this year’s favorable bottomline figures. Parallel to this, assets continued to grow with corresponding expansion in loan and investment portfolios while simultaneously improving asset quality with the reduction in non-performing assets (NPAs). While this development remains satisfactory, performance level can be further raised to facilitate the much-needed impact to the overall economy.

Favorably though, the reform momentum that the BSP has carefully nurtured over the years is slowly but surely gaining ground to achieve the broad objectives of developing a stable banking system responsive to the needs of a growing economy and of ensuring a balanced progress in the country’s financial system through the accelerated development of the domestic capital market. Said two-pronged reform strategy serves as the main driver of sustainable economic progress over the long-term.

Broadly, the BSP continued its reform initiatives centered on: a) improving the BSP’s supervision technology and capacity, b) enhancing the prudential regulatory environment of the banking system, c) strengthening corporate governance principles and market discipline and d) initiating capital market reform and development during the year in review.

First, a robust banking system relies on a sound supervisory environment that can effectively manage the increasingly challenging and complex financial system. The broad range of policy reforms to enhance the global competitiveness of the banking sector was anchored on the concepts of consolidated supervision. It had also shifted to international standards and best practices framework that calls for strengthened bank risk management practices through risk-based supervision.

This framework allows regulators to proactively respond to the mounting issues associated with conglomerate structures and cross border issues. It also enhances the quality of banking supervision and optimizes the use of supervisory resources. The BSP steered institution-wide changes designed to realign the processes and systems in the supervision and examination of banks to global standards. One particular development in 2004 was the formal establishment of the Financial Sector Forum (FSF). (Box 1) The FSF serves as a coordination mechanism among financial regulators to harmonize regulatory policies, enhance information sharing and promote consumer protection.

The Financial Sector Forum: Adopting a Comprehensive

Approach to Supervision

The increasingly global financial environment has significantly influenced the manner in which banking regulators deal with issues on management of financial activities. As enunciated by the Basle Committee in the 1997 Basle Core Principles for Effective Supervision, financial conglomerates generally operate as integrated entities and manage risk on a global basis across business lines. Consequently, banking supervisory authorities must have the ability to supervise the consolidated banking organization, i.e, the ability to review both banking and non-banking activities conducted in the banking organization, either directly or indirectly (through subsidiaries and affiliates), and activities conducted at both domestic and foreign offices. It is also vital for banking supervisors to establish cooperative arrangements with other Parallelregulatory to strengthening authorities with banking respect supervisio to supervisionn, the of country’s specific entitiesprudential within regulatory the organization’s structure to achieve seamless supervision.

In the Philippines, the adoption of the consolidated approach to supervision recently gained added momentum with the establishment of the Financial Sector Forum (FSF). The FSF is a voluntary interagency body created for the purpose of enhancing the conduct of supervision and regulation of the

financial system. Spearheading the FSF are the lead regulatory agencies in the financial sector, namely, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Insurance Commission (IC), and the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC).

Formally established on 5 July 2004 with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among its members, the FSF provides the venue for effectively addressing common supervisory and regulatory concerns with the view of harmonizing and coordinating policies and methods for enhanced supervision and regulation of financial institutions in the country.

The Forum serves to further complement existing bilateral agreements between the BSP and the SEC for sharing supervisory responsibility, and between the BSP and PDIC for information sharing. Although not intended to be a regulatory superbody, the FSF’s mandate covers a much broader area with both a strategic and operational perspective and its work will be on an ongoing basis. In addition, the FSF recognizes and respects the distinct mandates of each member agency.

With the creation of FSF, supervisory authorities hope to phase in a more comprehensive approach to supervision across the financial system. In its initial meetings, the FSF has identified three major priority areas: coordination of supervisory and regulatory methods and policies; reporting and information exchange and dissemination; and consumer protection and education. The FSF, through its multilateral committees, is currently working on the review, alignment, and development of guidelines on the areas of risk management, capital adequacy, issuance of securities by non-banks, prudential limits, collective investment schemes, and analogous insurance products. Initiatives are also being undertaken to rationalize disclosure requirements of firms that are covered by the mandates of the BSP, SEC, IC and the PDIC; implement an information sharing mechanism among the four member agencies; and uphold consumer protection through the development of an integrated financial literacy program.

Agency Mandate

BSP Supervises and conducts periodic or special examinations of banking institutions and quasi-banks, including their subsidiaries and affiliates engaged in allied activities (Sec. 25 of R.A. No. 7653)

Supervises over the operations of, and exercises regulatory powers over quasi-banks, trust entities and other financial institutions which under special laws are subject to Bangko Sentral supervision (Sec. 4 of R.A. No. 8791)

SEC Supervises over the operations of all corporations, partnerships or associations which are the grantees of primary franchises and/or licenses or permits issued by the government

Formulates policies and recommendations on issues concerning the securities markets (Sec. 5 of R.A. No. 8799)

IC Exercises regulatory and supervisory authority over insurance companies (P.D. No. 1460, as amended)

PDIC Insures the deposits of all banks within a prescribed ceiling and as such monitors banks’ conditions to manage and assess risks (R.A. No. 3591, as amended) in close coordination with the BSP.

Internally, the BSP is continuously building its supervisory capacity through training- based capacity-building programs to enhance the knowledge and skills of its examiners at par with global improvements in supervisory approaches and techniques.

Second, prudential regulations and the entire regulatory environment were continually upgraded to re-align with international standards and best practices; thereby preventing systemic risks and strengthening the banking system. With non-performing loans and assets still a drain to the banks’ balance sheets, the BSP issued an amendment to the previously issued Memorandum to All Banks/Non-Bank Financial Institutions with Quasi- Banking Functions (MAB/NBQB) last 16 February 2004 to provide regulatory relief to banks that qualify for privileges under Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) transactions. This was further supported by Monetary Board Resolution No. 135 dated 5 February 2004, which approved the revised accounting for the sale of NPAs to SPVs. These initiatives send a strong signal for banks to make the asset cleanup a priority, as this becomes the pre-requisite for the full implementation of Basel 2 and International Accounting Standards (IAS) in the Philippines. For 2004, SPV-related transactions amounted to P26.2 billion from the 121 certificates of eligibility (COE) issued by the Bangko Sentral, lowering the banking system’s NPL ratio to 12.5 percent.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Other regulatory measures issued during the year in review aim to address the concerns on credit risk, risk-based capital adequacy framework, capital treatments, DOSRI lending, single borrower’s limit, e-banking, bank’s internal rating systems, use of IBODI holdings in securities lending and repurchase agreements, reserve requirements for common trust funds (CTF), accreditation of banks and NBFIs as trustees of bond issuance by any municipality, government owned or controlled corporation, and uniform application of reserves for bad debts (see also Appendix 1). Some of these key regulatory improvements like the consolidation of DOSRI and SBL rules are in line with BSP’s compliance to the Basel core principles on banking supervision.

Considering that laundered funds can be deposited or wired through bank accounts and the banking system can be a tool of money laundering activities, the BSP also issued Circular No. 451 last 14 September 2004 lowering the covered transaction from P4 million to P500,0001 in support of the international crusade against money laundering.

Third, a strong banking system cannot ensue if corporate governance and market discipline mechanisms are weak. In this area, the BSP implemented key regulations to institutionalize good governance principles and to expand the disclosure and transparency requirements for its supervised entities as a component of the banking reform agenda. Major initiatives included the implementation of a system of corporate governance standards for financial institutions, the establishment of compliance monitoring mechanisms, the adoption of sound accounting rules based on international best practices, and the engagement of independent external auditors to promote financial transparency outlined under Circular No. 455 (Box 2). Moreover, the responsibility of the board of directors in enforcing corporate governance standards in their organization is reflected in the circulars issued by the Bangko Sentral for 2004 (see also Appendix 1). Circular No. 434, for example, adds the creation of an Audit Committee to the specific duties and responsibilities of the board to allow more stringent compliance standards on corporate governance. Cognizant of the international high- profile corporate abuses that became public in recent history, the new era of corporate governance requires much involvement, accountability and responsibility from the board of directors in their respective organizations.

Finally, parallel to banking reforms is the long overdue development of the domestic capital market to facilitate a stronger and more efficient financial system in the Philippines. The simultaneous development of the banking system and capital markets is the fundamental pillar that will support a sustainable economic growth. In this regard, the BSP has been actively involved and in the forefront of reforms to establish the key market infrastructure and mechanisms to deepen liquidity in the capital market.

1 This is in line with international standards and the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF). In 2005, regulatory efforts bore fruit when FATF finally removed the Philippines from its list of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories.

The Role of External Auditors in Instilling Market Discipline

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), In order to foster corporate governance in the under Section 58 of the General Banking financial system, full disclosure is required from external Law (GBL) of 2000 and Section X164 of auditors of banks and other supervised entities. In the Manual of Regulation for Banks addition, comments and findings in the audit (MORB), requires banks and other engagement shall also be submitted within 30 days after supervised entities to hire independent submission of the audit report. The annual financial external auditors from the list of BSP audit report shall be submitted to the BSP not later than selected certified public accountants 90 banking days after the start of audit. and auditing companies. In ensuring that reliance of the regulatory The policy upholds the authorities and the public on the opinion of external independence of external auditors and auditors is well placed, the BSP issued Circular No. 410 promotes high ethical and professional last October 2003. The Circular prescribes rules and standards in public accounting and at regulations governing the selection and delisting of the same time enhance the exchange of external auditors, which can be engaged by banks, information between external auditors quasi-banks, trust entities, non-stock savings and loan and the BSP. associations and other financial institutions.

Capital market development entails the creation of a real-time gross payments system dubbed as the PhilPaSS; the launching of the private sector-led Fixed Income Exchange (FIE); the issuance of various circulars (Circular Nos. 428 and 450) to establish the third party custodian system (Box 3); the accreditation of private rating agencies and the implementation of an interim framework for the creation of a central credit information bureau (CIB). Furthermore, the BSP formulated policies encouraging banks to issue alternative long-term instruments for their funding needs and to engage in alternative activities (Circular No. 447) designed to deepen the capital market (see also Appendix 1). On the legislative front, the BSP supported the passage of various laws to develop the local capital market and minimize the disincentives to secondary trading such as the Securitization Act of 2004, the Special Purpose Vehicle Law, and the removal of Documentary Stamp Tax or DST on secondary trading.

Said reform measures are widely in place but subject to further refinements in light of various emerging issues confronting the increasing sophistication of the financial sector. The road to domestic capital market development has been quite bumpy so to speak. Challenging the prevailing status quo is a Herculean task coupled with many obstacles and bottlenecks, most of which are artificially created to at least delay the inevitability of reform. However, the BSP remained focused with its reform agenda to get the country’s long-term fundamentals on track.

Corollary to banking reform and capital market development initiatives are the special programs and concerns of the Bangko Sentral in support of Government’s social reform agenda with respect to poverty alleviation and SME development in the countryside. In the last quarter of 2004, the President issued Proclamation No. 719 declaring 2005 as the Year of Microfinance in recognition of the crucial role of commercialized microfinancing to the economy particularly in bringing financial access to the enterprising poor. In this note, Bangko Sentral’s advocacies and special programs on microfinance also marked an improvement with the loans of 6 microfinance-oriented banks2 and the 179 rural and cooperative banks engaged in some level of microfinance reached P3.2 billion, benefiting more than 535,000 clients compared to last year’s 117 banks, P2.5 billion loans and 432,475 borrowers. Said development was largely due to the commercialization of microfinance in the country and further supported by Circular No. 409 that prescribes the careful monitoring of ‘portfolio at risk’, thereby a clear testament that sustainable microfinance can indeed provide that missing link of the financial market to the enterprising poor.

Summing up, the continuing recovery of the financial system is a rare window of opportunity given the underlying constraints but this window will not remain open unless fundamental reforms are undertaken to ensure that developments in the financial system can really pave the way for broad-based growth.

THE PHILIPPINE BANKING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

The Philippine banking system in 2004 remained relatively healthy amid a continuing recovery in the economy and despite the occurrence of various local and international disturbances in the latter half of the year. The sector’s total assets increased by 9.9 percent from last year to settle at P4,023.3 billion as of end-December 2004. The expansion in assets was sustained by the double-digit growth in deposits by 12.0 percent to reach P2,766.4 billion and higher borrowings. The banking sector’s capital accounts stayed favorable and continued to post a positive growth of 5.5 percent with all components increasing. The most notable included the 3.4 percent increase in capital stock and 3.3 percent expansion in surplus, surplus reserves and undivided profits. Bank liquidity indicators remained sufficient and capital adequacy ratio was kept above the minimum requirement. (Table 1)

Lending growth for the year held on to a reasonable 4.0 percent (net of interbank loans), a slight acceleration compared to the 3.7 percent increase posted in 2003. The moderate lending activity of banks reflected the continuing concerns on their asset quality as non- preforming assets (NPAs) remained at double-digit ratio. However, there have been significant asset disposal towards the latter part of 2004 as the provisions of the SPV Law were winding down. Actual assets transferred to SPVs and assets in the process of disposal totaled a little over P90 billion as of the first week of April 2005. The decline in NPL/NPA levels, continuing growth in lending activity and marked growth in overall assets supported the slight improvement in asset quality indicators. The NPL ratio further declined to 12.5 percent from 13.8 percent in 2003 and loan loss coverage ratio increased to 58.0 percent. Likewise, the NPA ratio was lower at 11.8 percent from 13.2 percent last year with allowance for loss increasing to 33.2 percent.

Investments, net posted considerable growth of 26.1 percent in the absence of a broader pick-up in economic activity since banks remained wary in exposing themselves to further risks in lending. This has prompted banks to alternatively invest significant portions of their funds in government securities alongside the ongoing consolidation of government finances. These fixed income instruments offer banks reasonable market returns and are risk- free. Investments, net as a proportion to total assets significantly increased to 31.0 percent in 2004 from around only 17.0 percent in 1998.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The banking system’s profitability indicators declined for the year due to the posting of a large non-recurring extraordinary credit in 2003. This was on account of the reversal of provisioning related to the rehabilitation of a commercial bank in that year. Net income after tax fell by 12.1 percent in 2004 and subsequently the banking system’s return on equity and return on assets were lower at 7.1 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively, compared to previous years’ levels. (Table 2) However, should the extraordinary credits in 2003 be netted out, profitability indicators continued to remain on an uptrend.

Notwithstanding the lower profitability indicators, overall operating income continued to outpace operating expenses, reflective of the improvement in asset quality and asset expansion in recent years. Net interest income growth accelerated rapidly by 24.5 percent due to improving net interest margins. Meanwhile, non-interest income was lower as trading gains were halved compared to levels posted in 2003, with the gradual rise in domestic and world interest rates. Despite this, banks remain creative in further augmenting their income from other non-interest sources such as from fee-based income that include bank commissions and service charges. Fee-based earnings kept gaining ground and posted a strong 12.5 percent growth for the year.

On the other hand, operating expenses jumped by 5.6 percent despite lower loss provisioning, breaking the downtrend of costs seen in prior years. This was largely on account of higher compensation and benefits of manpower resources, higher taxes particularly the re- imposition of the gross receipts tax, higher occupancy rentals, and expansion of service capacity such as increasing and upgrading ATM network, opening and refurbishing of branches, and expanding electronic banking services. This expansion of service delivery channels of banks should positively support bottom line figures in the near term.

OPERATING NETWORK

The total number of head and other offices of the banking system increased by 118 or 1.6 percent to 7,612 as of end-December 2004, from 7,494 at end-December 2003. In terms of head offices, a total of 4 banks closed during the year, 2 thrift banks and 2 rural banks. Universal and commercial banks maintained their number. Meanwhile, the re-opening of 1 closed thrift bank, entry of 1 thrift bank and 1 rural bank partly offset the closures. In terms of conversion and consolidation/merger, 4 thrift banks were relegated to rural bank status while 3 cases of mergers involving 7 rural banks were effected.

The net increase of 124 bank branches and other offices was on account of re-opened branches/other offices of merged/converted banks in 2004. The bulk of branch expansion came from rural and cooperative banks which increased by 83 branches partly on account of the 15 branches of converted thrift banks. This was followed by commercial banks with 35

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004 branches, of which the majority were from private domestic commercial banks (32 branches). The rest came from thrift banks with 8 banking offices. Only universal banks had a decline of 2 banking offices in 2004. On a geographical basis, the expansion of bank branches was mainly in Luzon (51 branches) and the NCR (42 branches) areas. Mindanao and Visayas had only 21 and 12 additional banking offices, respectively.

Meanwhile, three (3) overseas branches situated in the Asia-pacific region were closed while there was one (1) branch in Europe that opened in 2004. This is due to the robust growth and increasing share to total OFW remittances in the European region in recent years. (Table 3)

The resulting banking density ratio for the whole country remained at 5 banking offices per city/municipality. This currently serves around 10,929 persons for each banking office. The NCR still had the highest concentration of banking office ratio at 155 banks per city with each office serving 4,190 persons. A far second was the CALABRZON with 8 banking offices and serving 8,522 persons. On the other hand, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) had the lowest banking office per municipality and the largest population density ratio at 89,631 persons. (Table 4)

The continuing challenge for the banking sector include the reduction of borrowing costs and expansion of service delivery channels through the use of non-traditional channels like the increased deployment of information and communications technology (ICT) in order to remain competitive.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

This trend continued at a stronger pace in 2004 with 20 domestic banks (from only 12 banks in 2003) increasing their use of mobile and internet phone banking services as this service provides enhanced customer convenience round-the-clock. The use of the internet services also expanded to 16 domestic banks (from 12) and 11 foreign banks (from 10) engaging in this service. Meanwhile, the number of banks expanding their services via automated teller machine (ATM) network further increased to 40 domestic banks (from 36 in 2003) and 9 foreign banks (from 7 in 2003). The network of ATMs grew by 19.6 percent to reach 5,469 units across the country in 2004 with all major areas outside NCR posting significant expansion. This brought the total number of banks providing electronic banking services to 60 from only 55 in the previous year. (Table 5)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The banking system continued to operate profitably in 2004 albeit lower than the 2003 level. Net income after tax (NIAT) for the year reached P35.1 billion, a 12.1 percent decline from the level of P39.9 billion in the same period last year despite the robust growth of net operating income that increased further to 23.0 percent in 2004. The lower NIAT can be partly traced to the higher extraordinary credits posted in 2003 with the reversal of provisioning related to the rehabilitation of a commercial bank. (Table 6) Net of this extraordinary credit, the NIAT for the year would have maintained the growth trend that started in 2001.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Total operating income for the period totaled P189.3 billion, posting a higher growth of 8.7 percent compared to the 2003 expansion of 6.1 percent. The faster growth was on account of the 24.5 percent substantial increase in net interest income to P128.1 billion. Net interest income accounts for 67.8 percent of total operating income.

On the other hand, non-interest income was lower at P61.1 billion, translating to a 14.3 percent decline as a result of lower trading gains amidst steady growth in fee-based, trust department and other incomes. Total fee-based income reached P27.3 billion, up by 12.5 percent over last year with all sub-components posting increases. Trading income was much lower for the year at P15.7 billion or a decline by more than half from last year. This was primarily due to the gradual increase in domestic and international interest rates in 2004 which reduced the relative value or price of debt securities in the market.

Meanwhile, the banking system’s operating expenses amounted to P151.8 billion in 2004, increasing by 5.6 percent from last year despite lower bad debt write-offs/provisions for probable losses. The increase was comparatively higher than the minimal growth of 0.6 percent last year, breaking the downward trend of expenses in the past few years. Overhead costs and other expenses expanded faster due to the increased compensation and benefits of personnel with several banks recently signing new collective bargaining agreements, outlay of automated teller machines (ATMs), expansion of e-banking services and increase in bank branches. Furthermore, expense related taxes increased following the re-imposition of the gross receipts tax and higher occupancy rentals were observed during the period.

The banking sector’s profitability indicators remained at a comfortable level despite slightly lower return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) data compared to 2003 on account of lower NIAT in 2004. The banking system’s ROA slid to 0.9 percent from the previous year’s 1.1 percent, halting the upward trend that began in 2000. Likewise, banks posted lower ROE of 7.1 percent in 2004 from 8.5 percent last year. Discounting the extraordinary income in 2003, the ROA and ROE of the banking system would have maintained its upward path.

By banking group, cooperative banks continued to be the most profitable since 2001 with an ROA of 2.4 percent and an ROE of 13.8 percent. Meanwhile, thrift banks remained laggards with lowest ROA/ROE ratios.

Likewise, funding cost rose to 3.8 percent from 3.6 percent in the previous year. The higher funding cost depicted the healthy expansion in the deposit base such as in time deposits and FCDU accounts, the former serving as an alternative instrument relative to pre- need products and the latter an indication of the healthy inflows of OFW remittances. These developments resulted in a comfortable increase in interest spread of 420 basis points from 380 basis points in 2003.

ASSETS. Amid the relatively stable macroeconomic environment, the banking sector’s performance in 2004 increased at a faster pace. Nominal total assets grew by 9.9 percent to P4,023.3 billion compared to the 2003 growth of 5.3 percent. Underlying the asset growth of banks was the continued expansion of its lending and net investment activities that grew by 4.4 percent and 26.1 percent, respectively. These assets comprised majority or around 71.0 percent of the total asset base of the banking system. (Table 8)

The total loan portfolio (TLP) of the banking system as of end-December 2004 amounted to P2,030.7 billion or a growth of 2.4 percent from P1,982.3 billion in 2003. Excluding interbank loans (IBL), TLP reached P1,769.8 billion or a 4.0 percent growth over 2003. This was slightly above the 3.7 percent loan expansion posted last year. IBL stood at P260.9 billion, a decline of 6.8 percent from the P280.0 billion level in 2003 and represented 12.8 percent of TLP (down from 14.1 percent last year).

Loans directed to the Manufacturing sector still led the overall trend of bank lending with a growth of 14.1 percent from last year to reach P440.3 billion and cornering more than a fifth of the total loan portfolio of the banking system. This was a turnaround from the previous year’s negative growth of 2.6 percent. Other sectors that have taken advantage of loans extended by the banking sector include Agriculture, Fishery, Hunting and Forestry (P16.4 billion or a 14.6 percent growth); Utilities (P13.1 billion or a 20.1 percent growth); Wholesale and Retail Trade, and Repair of Motor Vehicles (P5.9 billion or a 2.3 percent growth); and Hotels and Restaurants (P1.6 billion or a 9.0 percent growth).

Meanwhile, consumer loans in the form of housing and automobile loans, and credit card receivables maintained its growth at 12.3 percent in 2004. The slowing trend in recent years was an outcome of the BSP’s implementation of a more stringent policy on credit card operation, particularly in the customer application process and developments in the automobile industry. These two sub-sectors equally accounted for 59.0 percent of total consumer loans.

With more stringent loan procedures, the growth of credit card receivables significantly slowed down from its peak of 41.2 percent in 2002 to 16.1 percent in 2004. Improvements in loan quality were noted that should ensure sustainable operations in the future and prevent potential problems that may be detrimental to the financial system. The past due level declined by 2.6 percent which was around 0.5 percent of TLP.

The rationalization of the tax structure in the automobile industry affected loan growth since majority of the financing plans are through banks. Automobile sales posted marked shifts in purchases of previously tax-exempt vehicles and potential buyers factoring higher oil prices.

By bank industry, these are niche markets for certain types of banks in the system. Foreign banks accounted for 69.5 percent of the credit card market followed by a 24.6 percent share from domestic private universal banks. For automobile loans, these are the niche markets of domestic thrift banks that cornered 71.7 percent of the total market.

Notwithstanding this trend, housing loans of banks remained on an upward path since 2002. Loan growth in 2004 reached 13.8 percent compared to 10.6 percent posted in the previous year. The growing demand for residential housing is supported by the strong inflows of OFW incomes and the competitively low interest rates being offered by banks. Furthermore, this has been complemented by various activities undertaken by banks to unload their non-performing assets at more reasonable prices.

Nevertheless, the overall lending performance of the banking system remained moderate as a result of several factors that included excess capacity in key industries, particularly manufacturing, and the slow growth being experienced in certain sectors of the economy thereby depressing the need for credit to expand capacity. Furthermore, heightened uncertainties prior to the conduct of the national elections in early 2004 and expectations of slower economic growth made firms and businesses wary of expanding their current production capacity and thus translating into lackluster corporate loan growth.

Source: Department of Economic Research, BSP Based on the BSP Business Expectations Survey, current quarter business outlook prior to the May 2004 elections declined due to growing political uncertainties. Confidence was further weakened with initial perceptions that the government will not be able to meet its fiscal discipline objective leading to instability in the price environment and thereby translate to lower growth of the economy. With the peaceful and orderly conduct of the national elections, business sentiments rebounded for both the current and next quarter outlook in the latter half of 2004. Meanwhile, recent surveys conducted indicate a brighter outlook for the first half of 2005 with the absence of political uncertainties and a more stable macroeconomic environment.

The benign credit conditions also mirror the current structural situation of the banking sector as it continues to be saddled with a pool of non-performing assets (NPAs) that weigh down on increasing lending capacity. Banks have been reluctant in disposing their NPAs despite the enactment of the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Act of 2002 on account of the steep discounts that SPVs demand that can reach up 70 to 80 percent. The steady recovery of the real estate sector and increasing OFW incomes in recent years have encouraged banks to sell their real and other properties owned and acquired (ROPOA) to individuals via advertising and extension of medium- and long-term financing. Other banks have also opted to develop acquired properties either through joint ventures or tapping the expertise of their real estate firm subsidiaries. For their non-performing loans (NPLs), banks have mostly intensified collection efforts and pursued traditional solutions such as restructuring, rehabilitation and foreclosures.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The thrust of the BSP in strengthening prudential regulations over banks, particularly its major reform initiative of fully shifting to a risk-based capital adequacy framework has made banks more cautious and risk averse in their lending activity. However, this has made banks become more focused, targeted and better organized in their lending business over the past periods. Coupled with increasing competition in the lending market, banks have concentrated on different market niches such as focusing on top-tier or middle-income corporations and in consumer finance underscoring primary types of needs such as automobile and housing loans, and credit cards to increase their profits.

Another factor that explains moderate loan growth amid the strong economic expansion in recent periods is the wider options faced by companies to fund their investment and expenditure activities from internal sources such as borrowing from their respective parent company or subsidiary group. The capital market and non-bank lenders have also been an alternative to bank’s intermediation business in extending funding needs of corporations. Furthermore, local corporations have also engaged in strategic partnerships with established global firms such as in the case of some telecommunication players and large food manufacturers to finance their investments and expansions. Others have tapped the international bond market where world interest rates were benign prior to the recent interest rate increases by US monetary authorities.

Investments, net increased by 28.3 percent to P1,249.0 billion from P990.5 billion last year. A substantial P98.4 billion or 92.1 percent of the investments were in fixed income securities. The increased competition and relative sluggishness in the lending environment prompted banks to channel their resources to fixed-income instruments of the government since they provide favorable market returns and are risk-free. Moreover, fiscal deficits incurred by the government since 1998 have piled on debt that substantially increased its debt servicing requirements in recent periods.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Meanwhile, the proportion of banks’ funding was primarily sourced from deposit accounts. Total deposits rose by 12.0 percent to P2,766.4 billion in 2004 (vs. 4.9 percent in 2003). The strong expansion was mainly attributed to the surge in peso time deposits that grew by 87.1 percent and foreign currency deposits that increased by 16.9 percent. Major contributors of growth were the private universal banks at P143.4 billion, trailed by foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) at P59.7 billion and by the private domestic commercial banks at P33.3 billion. Private domestic universal banks had the biggest deposit base at P1,662.6 billion or 60.1 percent of the total. This was followed by foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) at P356.9 billion or 12.9 percent, government banks at P251.8 billion or 9.1 percent and private domestic commercial banks at P208.3 billion or 7.5 percent.

The robust expansion of time deposits can be traced to higher OFW remittances owing to higher returns associated with the weakening of the country’s currency relative to the US dollar as well as client shift from the pre-need industry. Meanwhile, local currency savings deposits remained the core deposit base accounting for 44.8 percent of total deposit liabilities of banks. However, this slightly declined by –0.5 percent over 2003.

The deposit mix as of end-year 2004 remained concentrated on demand/NOW and savings deposits that comprised 74.6 percent of the total deposit liabilities, down from 78.7 percent in 2003. With strong growth, share of time deposits increased to 25.4 percent from the previous year’s 21.3 percent. Meanwhile, majority of the deposit liabilities was in local currency at 67.9 percent (down from 69.3 percent) and the remaining share in foreign currency accounts at 32.1 percent (up from 30.7 percent).

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

In 2004, assets financed via bills payable amounted to P386.5 billion, growing at a slower rate of 1.4 percent (vs. 6.7 percent last year). Bills payable of domestic banks comprised majority of this at 85.6 percent.

The banking system responded favorably to BSP initiatives in encouraging long-term funding for their capitalization needs. Unsecured subordinated debt issued for the year increased by a strong 46.2 percent to P51.4 billion in 2004.

The combined capital accounts of the banking system amounted to P505.9 billion, a 5.5 percent increase from last year’s P479.4 billion, of which 71.9 percent or P363.8 billion came from private domestic universal and commercial banks. Capital accounts consisted primarily of paid-up capital at 44.8 percent, slightly down from 45.7 percent last year. Surplus, surplus reserves and other profits made up 40.8 percent, down from 41.7 percent with lower income retained. The remaining balance of 14.4 percent represented the assigned capital and net due to head offices of foreign bank branches.

LOAN AND ASSET QUALITY. The continued settlement of loans through foreclosure of mortgages, the bulk sales of bad assets in the last quarter of the year and the modest loan growth translated to an improvement in the non-performing loans (NPLs) ratio of the banking sector in 2004. The NPL ratio stood at 12.5 percent as of end-2004, an improvement from the 13.8 percent ratio at end-2003 as NPLs fell by 6.8 percent to P252.9 billion. Likewise, total non-performing assets (NPAs) to gross assets ratio declined to 11.8 percent from last year’s 13.2 percent as NPAs declined by 1.3 percent to P495.6 billion. Furthermore, the banking sector’s distressed assets ratio further dipped to 25.3 percent from

27.0 percent last year. The expansion of the banking system’s loan portfolio led to the improvement in the NPL, NPA and distressed assets ratios for the year. (Table 8)

The recent flurry of activity with regard to the disposal of banking system’s non- performing assets was due largely to the winding down of time-bound provisions of the SPV Law. With the deadline of incorporation of SPVs in the latter part of 2004, a total of 36 corporations registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with 16 SPVs established by ten banks. As of end-year 2004, the BSP issued a total of 121 certificates of eligibility (COE) which qualify for exemption from certain taxes and reduction on fees associated with the normal sale or transfer of these assets.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

As of end-December 2004, P26.2 billion worth of bad assets were transferred involving various transactions via SPVs. Meanwhile, P53.8 billion worth of bad assets have pending applications for COE approval, which will put the total transfer of bad assets to SPVs at P80.0 billion, about 16.0 percent of the total NPAs.

The initial and subsequent bulk sale of bad assets to SPVs in the last quarter of 2004 contributed to the faster pace of disposal of NPAs which resulted in an improved NPL and NPA coverage ratios for 2004 to 58.0 percent (from 51.5 percent) and 33.2 percent (from 30.9 percent), respectively. Loan loss reserves increased by 4.9 percent to P146.7 billion while allowance for probable losses on NPAs increased by 6.1 percent to P164.6 billion. The increased pace of financial restructuring bodes well for the banking industry as it can significantly bolster the current momentum of growth and development in the economy.

On a broader measure of asset quality, the distressed assets ratio also improved to 25.3 percent from 27.0 percent last year. This developed as the 3.1 percent reduction in distressed assets was complemented by the 3.2 percent rise in TLP plus ROPOA. Although restructured loans declined by 7.5 percent in 2004, the trend for the two consecutive years showed the ratio of non-performing restructured loans to total restructured loans increased to 46.7 percent, from 39.9 percent at end-year 2003 and 36.8 percent at end-year 2002.

LIQUIDITY. Liquidity ratios continue to reflect the changing asset mix of the banking system. Liquid assets to deposits ratio increased to 53.2 percent in 2004 from the previous 47.9 percent. This was mainly due to the surge in investments, net, particularly the purchase of government securities. In end-year 2004, liquid assets consisted of cash and due from banks at P320.0 billion or a 12.2 percent growth compared to 2003 and investments, net (exclusive of equity) at P1,249.0 billion or an increase of 26.1 percent over last year. Loans (gross) to deposits declined to 73.4 percent from 80.3 percent as deposit growth substantially overtook the moderate increase in lending. Meanwhile, cash and due from banks to deposits ratio was almost unchanged at 11.6 percent.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY. The banking system remained adequately capitalized with solvency ratios higher than the minimum regulatory standard set by the BSP (10 percent benchmark) and above international norm (8 percent benchmark) as of end-June 2004. On a solo basis, total qualifying capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2 less deductions) amounted to P373.4 billion representing 17.0 percent of risk-adjusted assets. Likewise on a consolidated basis, CAR was at 18.3 percent, an improvement from the 17.4 percent posted as of end-December 2003. The increase in CAR levels in 2004 was a result of higher Tier 2 capital, particularly through the issuances of eligible unsecured subordinated debt by private domestic universal banks. Although the industry’s recorded CAR exceeded prescribed regulatory ceilings, the high volume of NPAs amounting to about half a trillion pesos threatened banks’ solvency.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The growth of the banking system’s capital accounts has also translated to improved compliance among the different types of banks. Overall, the number of banks that complied with the prescribed minimum amount of capital reached 706 or 79.1 percent of all banks. Compliance by bank type were as follows:

a. universal and commercial banks – 33 banks or 78.6 percent (vs. 34 banks or 80.9 percent in 2003);

b. thrift banks – 56 banks or 64.4 percent (vs. 58 banks or 63 percent in 2003);

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

The country’s slower trade performance in 2004 was reflected by the slight 2.3 percent growth in trade-related off-balance sheet activities to reach P45.4 billion after growing by 9.3 percent in 2003. The slack in the trade-related activities maybe attributed to low global demand for semi-conductor’s and electronics, which accounts for around 60.0 percent of the country’s exports.

Meanwhile, total bank guarantees reached P105.7 billion or a decline of 5.7 percent from the previous year. The decline was largely attributed to lower outstanding guarantees issued by banks that posted a 10.1 percent decrease from 2003. On the other hand, stand-by letters of credit grew by a nominal 0.7 percent.

Nominal amount of derivatives contracts also posted a decline of 16.2 percent to reach P1,012.2 billion in 2004 as financial options substantially dropped to P19.8 billion or by 93.9 percent from the P321.5 billion in 2003. However, upon a closer look there are positive developments that point to an increasing use of interest rate derivatives products such as swaps and forwards. Interest rate swaps increased by a sizeable rate of 52.3 percent to reach P197.5 billion while interest rate forwards were again in use after being dormant for a couple of years.

UNIVERSAL AND COMMERCIAL BANKS

OVERVIEW

The generally improved economic conditions during the year fostered a healthier balance sheet and stronger capital position for the universal and commercial banking industry. The slew of positive news in the industry was highlighted by events leading up to the incorporation deadline of SPVs, the inception of a timetable for the new international banking rulebook known as Basel II, reforms in the trust business particularly the launching of the Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF), and initiatives to further develop the domestic capital market through the establishment of third party securities custodian, among others.

Stirred by the incentives of the SPV Law which included tax perks and lower transaction fees, the industry reduced its holdings of bad loans. The initial bulk sale to SPVs in November 2004 is expected to speed up the transfer of substantial non-earning assets of the industry. As of end-year 2004, non-performing loans (NPLs) declined by 7.5 percent to P227.0 billion from last year’s P245.5 billion. Complemented by the 2.1 percent growth in total loan portfolio to P1,784.2 billion, the NPL ratio consequently improved to 12.7 percent from 14.1 percent. Moreover, the reduction in bad loans triggered a 2.7 percent drop in non-performing assets (NPAs) to P430.4 billion from P442.3 billion. Simultaneous with a 9.6 percent growth in gross assets, the NPA ratio posted its lowest in five years at 11.4 percent. The resultant decline in NPL and NPA ratio, however, leaves more room for improvement in terms of asset quality.

The industry remained solvent as capital adequacy ratio (CAR) as of end-June 2004 rose to 16.9 percent from 15.7 percent as of end-December 2003. Consolidated CAR likewise strengthened to 18.4 percent from 17.3 percent. Both solo and consolidated CARs were well above the 10 percent minimum benchmark.

Notwithstanding the preceding positive developments, the industry’s profitability weakened, mainly due to the significant reduction in extraordinary credits. Bottom line figure fell by 13.9 percent to P33.3 billion after peaking at P38.7 billion as of end-year 2003. Consequently, return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) broke its uptrend from end- 2000 to end-2003, settling at 1.0 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively.

On a positive note, net operating income remained on an uphill trek, increasing by 23.0 percent to P36.6 billion from last year’s P29.8 billion. Revenues from the industry’s core business of lending and from investments of excess funds in government debt instruments

Foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) followed with a share of 15.1 percent (up from 15.0 percent). Government banks and private domestic commercial banks took up 12.3 percent (down from 12.6 percent) and 8.6 percent (up from 7.9 percent), respectively.

The share of investments in government securities continued to build-up on liquid assets at 51.0 percent (from last year’s 45.9 percent). The hefty growth in non-equity investments by 28.3 percent drove liquid assets by 24.8 percent to P1,364.6 billion from last year’s P1,093.2 billion. This brought up liquid asset to deposits ratio to 55.2 percent from 49.5 percent as of end-December 2003. (Table 10)

Based on their published statement of condition as of 20 December 2004, maintained its lead in terms of assets, loans (gross) and deposits. However, BPI overtook Metrobank for the number one slot in terms of capital accounts at P55.0 billion. Meanwhile, Citibank dislodged PNB and DBP from the roster of top five universal and commercial banks in terms of assets and loans, respectively.

The top 5 universal and commercial banks held majority of the industry’s aggregate assets, loans (gross), deposits, and capital accounts at 46.4 percent (down from last year’s 47.3 percent), 44.5 percent (up from last year’s 35.8 percent), 49.7 percent (down from last year’s 51.6 percent) and 44.0 percent (down from last year’s 45.4 percent), respectively.

OPERATING NETWORK

As of end-December 2004, the total number of head offices, branches and other offices of the universal and commercial banking industry expanded by 33 to 4,329 from 4,296 last year. (Table 11) Of the total, there were 42 head offices and 4,287 branches and other offices. The additional banking offices were mainly reopened branches/other offices of merged/consolidated banks.

As in the previous year, there were 18 universal banks composed of 12 private domestic banks, 3 government banks and 3 foreign bank branches. On the other hand, there were 24 commercial banks which consisted of 9 private domestic banks (from 8 last year), 4 subsidiaries of foreign banks (from 5 last year), and 11 branches of foreign banks. (Schedule 1)

The additional 33 branches and other offices resulted from the reopening of 92 branches as well as the closure of 59 branches during the year. This included the closure of 3 overseas branches in the Asia Pacific region while establishing a new branch in Europe. This brought to 48 the total overseas network as of end-year 2004 from last year’s 50. Domestic branching operations remained concentrated in the National Capital Region (NCR) at 47.2

The CALABARZON followed at 10.5 percent, while the remaining regions held less than 10.0 percent each. It was only in Southern Mindanao (Region XI) where a net reduction of branches/other offices was recorded. (Table 11)

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) operations further expanded during the year, supplementing banking service delivery of the industry. ATMs rose by 759 (553 on-site and 206 off-site) to 5,100 units as of end-year 2004 from 4,341 as of end-year 2003. With the rise in the number of branches/other offices, units installed within bank premises increased to 3,684 or 72.2 percent of the total ATMs of the industry. Off-site ATMs likewise grew to 1,416 units, 27.8 percent of the total. ATMs remained clustered in the NCR, CALABARZON, Central Visayas and Central Luzon at 49.9 percent, 13.5 percent, 7.0 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively. (Table 12)

At end-December 2004, three new universal and commercial banks engaged in electronic banking were added to last year’s roster of 30 banks. Services offered include fund transfer, loan and credit application, check order and bills payment. Twenty-six (26) banks (from 25 last year) operated their own telephone- and computer-based infrastructures. In addition, 17 banks (from 11 last year) tied up with BancNet’s Multi-Channel Payment Gateway (MCPG) or MegaLink’s ATM Switch networks for internet/mobile banking. Moreover, 8 banks (from 5 last year) participated in the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s Electronic Filing and Payment System (EFPS), a technology that facilitates big time taxpayers to file and pay their taxes electronically. (Table 13)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Propelled by higher yields in its core interest-based business and moderate expansion in lendings and investments in government securities, the industry’s operating income rose by 8.3 percent to P163.8 billion from 2003’s P151.2 billion. This transpired on the back of a double-digit expansion in net interest income by 26.6 percent to P109.4 billion, notwithstanding the significant downturn in non-interest income by 16.0 percent to P54.4 billion. Meanwhile, the network expansion undertaken by the industry in 2004 increased the operating expenses by 4.7 percent to P127.2 billion despite the sizeable 18.0 percent reduction in provisioning for probable losses and bad debts. Nevertheless, net operating income sustained double-digit expansion by 23.0 percent to P36.6 billion. Net income after tax (NIAT), however, was down by 13.9 percent to P33.3 billion as extraordinary credits contracted by a hefty 65.9 percent to P6.1 billion. (Table 14).

The substantial drop in extraordinary credits transpired following a soaring growth of 237.4 percent in 2003 on account of a private domestic UB’s reversal of prior year’s loan loss provisioning associated with specific loans purchased by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) as part of the former’s rehabilitation plan. Excluding said one-time

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004 transaction, the industry would have posted no more than a 38.6 percent decline in extraordinary credits in 2004.

Revenues from the core business of lending and from investments in government debt instruments showed substantial gains as net interest income posted a double-digit growth of 26.6 percent to P109.4 billion largely due to ascending average interest rates and the level expansion in lending and investments in 2004. Consequently, net interest income contributed to 66.8 percent of the industry’s total operating income, a 9.7 percentage points increment from 57.1 percent in 2003.

Meantime, the industry’s thrust to venture into other revenue generating activities continue to gain ground with fee-based income rising to 12.3 percent to P22.7 billion from P20.2 billion last year. Likewise, improvement in other income and trust department income carried on with a 44.0 percent and a 7.0 percent growth, respectively.

Meanwhile, trading income posted a substantial 52.4 percent decline to P15.3 billion from P32.0 billion principally on account of rising interest rates. This aberration dragged down the industry’s non-interest income in 2004. There was a predominant slump in trading income particularly from government and private securities which plunged by 63.5 percent or P10.0 billion and 55.1 percent or P1.7 billion, respectively. Trading in derivatives likewise plummeted by 174.3 percent or P2.4 billion, posting a loss of P1.0 billion against last year’s gain of P1.4 billion.

The average earning asset yield went up by 0.6 percentage point to 7.5 percent from 6.9 percent in 2003. This was reflective of higher lending rates and inroads made to improve loan quality. However, significant investments were still placed in government securities, allowing the 91-day Treasury bill (T-bill) rate at 7.3 percent to close-in the gap against the average earning assets yield to only 0.2 percentage point (from 0.9 percentage point in 2003). Meanwhile, average funding cost inched up to 3.6 percent from 3.5 percent as core deposits remained in non-interest sensitive demand/NOW savings deposits. All told, average interest spread rose by 0.5 percentage point to 3.9 percent, still 1.8 percentage points lower than the 5.7 percent posted in 1997, the onset of the regional crisis.

LOANS. Total loan portfolio, gross (inclusive of interbank loans) of the universal and commercial banking industry reached P1,796.5 billion, an expansion of 1.7 percent from P1,766.8 billion as of end-year 2003. Excluding interbank lendings, loans, gross posted a higher growth of 3.3 percent to P1,541.7 billion from last year. This is attributed to the 7.0 percent slump in interbank loans, particularly by private domestic universal banks and foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries), to P254.8 billion from P274.0 billion last year. Meanwhile, FCDU loans (inclusive of interbank loans) tracked its downtrend last year, declining by 4.9 percent to US$10.6 billion from last year’s US$11.1 billion on the back of the peso’s relative weakness against the dollar.

Moreover, majority of the real estate loans were for commercial purposes at P150.9 billion, up by 3.4 percent from last year’s P146.0 billion. This accounted for 82.5 percent of the industry’s total real estate loans. On the other hand, the remaining 17.5 percent represented for the corresponding rise in real estate loans to acquire residential properties (up by 2.5 percent to P31.9 billion from end-2003’s P31.1 billion) mainly due to increased appetite from overseas Filipino workers (OFW) to acquire their ‘dream’ houses.

Domestic commercial banks largely extended the real estate loans worth P172.8 billion (or 94.5 percent of the total industry’s real estate loans vs. last year’s 93.7 percent), up by 4.1 percent from last year’s P166.0 billion. In contrast, foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) contributed the minority 5.5 percent or P10.0 billion, down by 6.3 percent from last year’s P11.1 billion.

Reflecting the improved quality of the real estate loans, past due ratio exhibited a downtrend to 20.3 percent as of end-December 2004 from 21.9 percent as of end-December 2003. Hence, year-on-year past due real estate loans to total loans (exclusive of interbank loans) marginally dropped to 2.4 percent from last year’s 2.6 percent.

Likewise, past due ratios of commercial purpose and residential real estate loans dropped to 18.3 percent (from end-December 2003’s 19.1 percent) and to 2.0 percent (from end-December 2003’s 2.8 percent), respectively.

Growth of credit card receivables slightly improved at 16.7 percent from 16.3 percent at end-year 2003. However, this was relatively dull compared with end-year 2002’s growth of 41.5 percent as Circular No. 398 tightened the rules and regulations governing credit card operations of banks and their subsidiary/affiliate credit card companies. Total outstanding CCRs settled at P47.6 billion or 3.1 percent of total loans (exclusive of interbank loans). Major players were the foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) accounting for 73.0 percent of total industry CCRs. Meanwhile, quality improved as past due CCRs significantly declined to 17.0 percent from 20.4 percent last year.

On the other hand, the effect of the implementation of R.A. No. 9224 (an act rationalizing the excise tax on automobiles) lingered as auto loans grew marginally to P14.1 billion at end-year 2004. Likewise, past due ratio as well as the ratio of auto loans to total loans (exclusive of interbank loans) were unchanged from last year at 5.8 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.

Based on preliminary data as of end-September 2004, agrarian reform and agricultural credits prescribed under P.D.

Nonetheless, the industry was at par with the minimum 25 percent for agricultural loans in general amounting to P215.1 billion (vs. the required P214.8 billion).

Demand/NOW & Savings Time Deposits The bulk of the industry’s Deposits peso deposit liabilities was sourced from the private sector at 88.5 percent. The balance of 11.5 percent was accounted for by government deposits which rose from last year’s 17.8 percent to P186.5 billion. Of these deposits, 76.4 percent or P142.4 billion was held by government banks while the remaining 23.6 percent or P44.1 billion was placed in private banks authorized by the Monetary Board to accept government deposits.

With our domestic capital market largely underdeveloped, deposits remained the main source of funding for the industry with a five-year high ratio to total liabilities and capital accounts at 68.3 percent (up from year 2003’s 67.0 percent and year 2000’s 64.8 percent).

CAPITALIZATION. The industry posted the highest ever year-on-year increase in total capital accounts at 6.3 percent to P450.5 billion from only P423.8 billion as of end- December 2003. (Table 10) This consisted of surplus, surplus reserves and current income at

However, total capital accounts to total assets ratio declined to 12.5 percent from 12.9 percent a year ago and 13.2 percent in 2001. The slight setback in the said ratio resulted from the faster year-on-year growth in total assets at 9.7 percent as against the 6.3 percent increment in total capital accounts.

SELECTED CONTINGENT ACCOUNTS

TRADE-RELATED CONTINGENT ACCOUNTS. Total trade-related contingent accounts rose minimally by only 2.3 percent to P45.4 billion from P44.4 billion last year, measly compared to its growth of 9.3 percent at end-year 2003. Private domestic universal banks remained as the key industry players contributing around P32.8 billion or 72.2 percent of the total trade-related contingent accounts. However, this share was a reduction from last year’s 74.6 percent as the subgroup posted a year-on-year decline of 0.9 percent from P33.1 billion.

Behind private domestic universal banks were government banks which captured P5.2 billion or 11.4 percent, stepping up last year’s share of 10.2 percent or P4.5 billion. Meanwhile, as foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) recorded higher trade volumes of 42.8 percent to P4.2 billion from P3.0 billion, the subgroup held 9.3 percent of the industry’s total trade- related contingent accounts (up from end-year 2003’s 6.7 percent). Finally, private domestic commercial banks accounted for merely P3.2 billion or 7.1 percent (down from 8.5 percent) of trade volumes following significant drop of 15.0 percent from end-year 2003’s P3.8 billion.

Unused import-related commercial letters of credit still held the bulk of total trade- related contingent accounts at P39.9 billion or 87.9 percent (slightly lower than last year’s 88.1 percent). Whereas, export-related contingent accounts maintained the balance of P5.5 billion or 12.1 percent (inching up from last year’s 11.9 percent).

BANK GUARANTEES. Oustanding bank guarantees declined by 5.9 percent to P105.1 billion from end-year 2003’s P111.7 billion, a reversal after peaking by as much as 15.9 percent last year. This was attributed to the general year-on-year slowdown in almost all subgroups except government banks which marginally rose by 0.5 percent to P43.8 billion.

Private domestic universal banks were consistently the leading issuers of guarantees at P45.5 billion or 43.3 percent (down from 45.9 percent) despite decreasing the most by 11.3 percent from last year. Government banks hold the second largest share in the industry’s total bank guarantees at 41.7 percent (up from end-year 2003’s 39.0 percent). Foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) and private domestic commercial banks trailed behind with P11.4 billion or 10.9 percent (from 10.7 percent) and P4.4 billion or 4.2 percent (from 4.4 percent) shares, respectively.

As to the composition of the industry’s bank guarantees, 43.3 percent or P45.5 billion was in the form of stand-by letters of credit, 40.0 percent or P42.1 billion was in guarantees on foreign loans, 12.3 percent or P12.9 billion on shipside bonds/airway bills and 4.4 percent or P4.6 billion in other forms of guarantees.

DERIVATIVES. The notional value of derivatives contracts narrowed down by 16.2 percent to P1,012.2 billion from last year’s P1,207.8 billion following its double-digit increment of 29.8 percent in 2003. Of the four subgroups, lone gainer was the private domestic commercial banks, which ballooned by 112.4 percent or P21.7 billion to P41.0 billion from last year’s P19.3 billion. Whereas, foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) and government banks contracted significantly by 23.3 percent or P205.5 billion and 29.1 percent or P2.3 billion, respectively. Although, foreign banks (branches and subsidiaries) still held the bulk of the industry’s derivatives activities with a 66.7 percent share, considerably reduced from last year’s 72.9 percent. The balance was held by private domestic universal banks at 28.7 percent, private domestic commercial banks at 4.1 percent and government banks at 0.6 percent.

Currency forwards consistently held the largest share of the industry’s total derivatives contracts at 75.5 percent or P764.5 billion, inching up by only 1.1 percent from last year. There was a noticeable shift to interest rate swaps which grew by 52.3 percent to P197.5 billion, accounting for the second largest slice at 19.5 percent. Moreover, the industry once again engaged in trading financial futures after being dormant for two years, with a notional amount of P28.2 billion or 2.8 percent of the total derivatives contracts. Finally, financial options and interest rate forwards held the minority shares at 2.0 percent or P19.8 billion and 0.2 percent or P2.2 billion, respectively.

THRIFT BANKS

OVERVIEW

The thrift bank industry’s operations in year 2004 resulted in asset expansion, a bigger and better loan and investment portfolio and improved profitability. However, asset quality is undermined as the industry continued to weather the problem of delinquent loans largely thru foreclosure of mortgages.

Despite a fewer number of industry players (87 vs. 92 last year), thrift banks managed to register an 11.4 percent growth in total assets, reaching P305.4 billion as against last year’s level of P274.3 billion. This double-digit increment was the highest so far in the post- Asian crisis period. Asset expansion during the year was bolstered by improved credit access by 7.0 percent to P170.7 billion and rise of investments by 27.7 percent to P55.4 billion. (Table 16)

By main group, the share of linked Thrift Banking System 1 Market Structure of Assets thrift banks to total assets stood at 65.9 percent or P201.3 billion. Non-linked thrift 2004 2003 banks, which consisted mostly of smaller- 2002 sized institutions, accounted for the balance 2001 of 34.1 percent or P104.1 billion. By 2000 subgroup, domestic bank-linked entities kept 1999 the bulk of the total industry assets at 62.7 1998 1997 percent or P191.4 billion. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%

Domestic Bank-Linked Non-Bank Linked Foreign Bank- Linked Non-Linked The industry managed to be profitable after a lackluster performance in 2003 on the back of higher net interest earnings by 12.7 percent or P1.3 billion and extraordinary credits by 79.1 percent or P0.6 billion. The P43 million NIAT generated during the year was a turnaround from the P248 million net loss incurred in 2003 but lower compared to 2002’s NIAT of P655 million. Nonetheless, the growth in NIAT reverted the return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) ratios to positive 0.01 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively, from the negative ratios of 0.1 percent and 0.6 percent for 2003. (Table 17)

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Deposit liabilities continued to be the main source of funding at P223.7 billion, higher by 13.5 percent from last year’s P197.2 billion. Depositors’ preference for savings accounts, which made up the largest slice of total deposits at 61.0 percent or P136.4 billion, persisted. Time deposits, on the other hand, exhibited the largest expansion from last year by 104.4 percent to P69.1 billion.

Liquidity position strengthened as liquid asset to deposits ratio inched up to 36.7 percent from 33.7 percent last year, following the increase in cash and due from banks and investments (net of equity investments) by 14.8 percent and 28.3 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, loans to deposits ratio fell to 76.3 percent from 80.9 percent as preference shifted to both short term and long term investments.

Thrift banks continue to play a major role in providing credit to the shelter program of the government. As in the previous periods, the Real Estate, Renting, Business Activities and Construction sector was still the major beneficiary of lending activities.

The boost in bank lending was supported by better loan quality, as reflected by the drop in the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to 11.0 percent from previous year’s ratio of 12.1 percent. Foreclosure proceedings were the main remedial measures undertaken to reduce NPLs as the ratio of real and other properties owned or acquired (ROPOA), net to total assets increased further to 10.8 percent from 10.2 percent. Hence, the industry’s non-performing assets (NPA) ratio at 15.9 percent remained higher than the NPL ratio.

Despite a slightly lower capital base by 3.8 percent to P39.7 billion, the industry remained solvent as it sustained compliance with the risk-based capital adequacy ratio (CAR). CAR on both solo and consolidated basis stood at 17.9 percent as of end-June 2004. Although lower than the 18.9 percent ratio as of end-December 2003, this was still above the 10 percent minimum ratio required by the BSP as provided for under Circular No. 280.

Linked thrift banks continued to manifest strong presence in the list of top five thrift banks. The top 5 thrift banks, combined, held 60.8 percent of total assets, 63.3 percent of total loans, 65.7 percent of total deposits and 50.6 percent of total capital. Among individual banks, BPI Family remained the country’s biggest thrift bank in terms of assets, loans, deposits and capitalization.

OPERATING NETWORK

The number of thrift banks becomes leaner in response to competitive pressures calling for stronger and more viable banks. As of end-December 2004, the total number of head offices dropped to 87 from 92 last year. In contrast, the number of branches and other offices increased to 1,193 from 1,185 with 8 new, additional offices.

One thrift bank (EIB Savings Bank) opened on 08 September 2004, whereas two thrift banks (i.e., First SLA and Ever DB) were closed effective 08 September 2004 and 25 November 2004, respectively. Further, four TBs converted to rural banks during the year following the approval of the Monetary Board and these include Lipa City DB, DB, First Provincial DB and Nation DB.

The concentration of thrift banking offices remained in the National Capital Region (NCR) with 534 bank offices or 41.7 percent of the total. Region IV-A (CALABARZON) was a far second with 257 bank offices or 20.1 percent. Table 18 indicates that Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao still had no thrift banking office.

Delivery of banking services was not compromised by the dwindling number of TBs in the country but rather enhanced by the growing network of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Twenty thrift banks have a total of 369 ATMs, with 137 more units from 232 units last year. About 312 ATMs were located within the premises of the bank while the remaining 57 units were installed in convenient places outside the bank premises. (Table 19)

The NCR had the most number of ATMs with 225 units or 61.0 percent of the total, followed by CALABARZON with 57 units or 15.4 percent. By main group, non-linked thrift banks held the most number of ATMs with 235 units or 63.7 percent whereas linked thrift banks held the balance of 134 units or 36.3 percent.

Aside from the ATM network, the industry continued to position itself to meet the rising customer need through innovative products and services. As of end-year 2004, the industry augmented its service delivery channels with 11 banks engaged in electronic banking services via mobile/non-mobile phones and/or internet; 2 authorized banks participated in the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s Electronic Tax Filing and Payment System; and 6 banks secured Internet and Mobile Banking Services via BancNet/MegaLink Switch. (Table 20)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The industry ended 2004 with a significant recovery in net profits by 117.5 percent to P43 million over last year’s net loss of P248 million. This favorable development was primarily due to higher net interest income, up by 12.7 percent or P1.3 billion; and extraordinary credits, up by 79.1 percent or P0.6 billion. These 2 revenue sources contained the effect of the 8.9 percent or P1.3 billion appreciation in operating expenses. (Table 21)

Overall, thrift banks benefited from the good performance of linked thrift banks. Linked thrift banks recorded a positive P1.8 billion NIAT compensating for non-linked thrift banks’ net loss of a little less than P1.8 billion.

For the year ended 2004, total operating income settled at P15.6 billion, higher by 8.7 percent or P1.2 billion from P14.4 billion in the same period last year. This came about despite the cut in non-interest income by 2.6 percent or P99 million as net interest income rose by 12.7 percent or P1.3 billion. The major source of thrift banks’ income came from the usual lending and investment transactions as net interest income still accounted for the bulk at 76.6 percent or P11.9 billion of total operating income. Non-interest income’s share merely stood at 23.4 percent or P3.6 billion.

Source: Office of Supervisory Policy Development, Supervision and Examination Sector 51

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The higher net interest income was fueled by better loan quality and increased investments in government securities as interest income climbed by 16.1 percent or P3.3 billion. This compensated for the 19.7 or P2.0 billion upsurge in interest expense and consequently brought up net interest margin to 5.6 percent from 5.4 percent last year.

Interest on loans, including interbank loans, accounted for 76.9 percent or P18.4 billion of the total P24.0 billion interest income, followed by interest on investments in debt instruments at 16.7 percent or P4.0 billion. On the other hand, 84.7 percent or P10.2 billion of the total P12.0 billion interest expenses was paid to depositors.

Meanwhile, service charges/fees/commissions made up 65.5 percent or P2.4 billion of the P3.6 billion total non-interest income. Other Income held the second spot at 21.3 percent or P0.8 billion.

Earning asset yield went up to 11.2 percent from 10.6 percent over the same period last year amidst a higher interest rate environment, improved loan quality and increased holdings in government securities. Funding cost likewise inched up but at a slower pace to 5.1 percent from 4.8 percent. The net result was a wider interest spread of 6.1 percent as against 5.8 percent last year.

Meanwhile, funding cost remained lower than the 91-day T-bill rate with the highest differential rate posted in 1998 at 286 basis points and the lowest in 2002 at 43 basis points. Year- on-year, the differential rate expanded to 222 basis points from 119 basis points in 2003. The wider gap is reflective of major part of funds sourced from less interest rate sensitive demand/NOW and savings deposit accounts.

On the other hand, the gap between the earning asset yield and the T-bill rate closed in to 386 basis points from 457 basis points in 2003 as funds were used more to expand investments in government securities than in lending.

The industry continued to suffer from high operating expenses. Total operating expenses climbed by 8.9 percent or P1.3 billion from last year to P16.3 billion, driven mainly by higher overhead costs of P0.6 billion and other expenses of P0.8 billion.

LOANS. Total loan portfolio, gross expanded by 7.0 percent to P170.7 billion from P159.4 billion last year. Likewise, loans (net of interbank loans) climbed by 7.2 percent to P164.6 billion from P153.5 billion. The growth in loans during the year was the highest annual loan growth recorded since end-year 1998 largely due to substantial loan exposure of the thrift banking industry to the real estate sector. This rate, however, was still lower than the peak of 13.8 percent posted at end-year 1997.

Thrift banks continued to be the major provider of automobile loans (ALs) as they accounted for 71.7 percent of the total ALs of the banking industry. Total ALs rose to P35.8 billion or by 9.5 percent or P3.1 billion from P32.7 billion last year. Similarly, the ratio of total ALs to total loan portfolio (TLP), net of interbank loans, inched up to 21.8 percent from last year’s ratio of 21.3 percent.

By main group, linked thrift banks reported higher AL exposure as it held 85.3 percent of the industry’s total ALs while non-linked thrift banks accounted for only 14.7 percent. Meanwhile, credit quality of thrift banks improved as past due ALs to total ALs ratio slid to 6.1 percent from 6.5 percent last year.

Credit Card Receivables (CCRs) climbed to P2.6 billion, up by 6.9 percent or P0.2 billion from P2.4 billion last year. The ratio of total CCRs to TLP (net of IBL), on the other hand, was maintained at 1.6 percent from last year. Non-linked thrift banks accounted for the bulk or 95.6 percent of the overall credit card exposure of the industry while linked thrift banks held the balance of 4.4 percent. The past due CCRs to total CCRs ratio improved to 20.5 percent from 22.9 percent last year.

Based on preliminary data on microfinance-oriented banks, the outstanding loans, gross of microfinance-oriented thrift banks reached P125 million as of end-December 2004. Their NPL ratio stood much lower than the industry average NPL ratio at 6.4 percent whereas their NPL coverage ratio stood higher than the industry average NPL coverage ratio at 83.8 percent.

Preliminary data on the compliance with small and medium enterprises (SME) credit as of end-September 2004 showed that loans to SME remained above the statutory floors of 6 percent (for small enterprises) and 2 percent (for medium enterprises) at 23.6 percent or P30.9 billion and 10.6 percent or P13.9 billion, respectively.

On the other hand, data on the compliance with the agri-agra requirement as of end- June 2004 showed that although the industry exceeded the minimum 10 percent mandatory allocation for agrarian reform credit at 14.3 percent, it undercomplied with the overall 25 percent minimum compliance rate at 22.7 percent as it fell short by 6.58 percent as against the 15 percent agri/other credit compliance requirement.

The NPL ratio of the industry improved to 11.0 percent from 12.1 percent last year. This resulted from the 3.1 percent reduction in NPLs, which was accompanied by a 6.8 percent expansion in total loan portfolio (TLP). Similarly, the non-performing assets (NPA) ratio of the industry recovered to 15.9 percent from 16.2 percent. The 9.0 percent growth in NPAs was outpaced by the 11.0 percent expansion in gross assets. (Table 22)

Foreclosure of mortgages to settle outstanding loans attributed to the decline in NPLs from the previous year. Real and other properties owned or acquired (ROPOA) grew by 19.2 percent to P34.7 billion.

Linked thrift banks held 69.5 percent share of total deposits, of which domestic bank- linked thrift banks contributed 95.1 percent. Non-linked thrift banks held the balance of 30.5 percent.

Depositors still preferred the convenience of no fixed tenure savings accounts, which made up the largest slice of total deposits at 61.0 percent. However, savings accounts fell by 8.0 percent from last year to P136.4 billion. On the other hand, time deposits, which retained the second spot at 30.9 percent share, surged by 104.4 percent to P69.1 billion. Thrift banks apparently benefited from the negative publicity surrounding the pre-need industry during the second half of 2004, whose clients sought alternative avenues to lock-in their money for future use. Demand and NOW deposit accounts, which lagged behind with an 8.2 percent share, rose by 20.1 percent to P18.3 billion.

Meanwhile, currency mix consisted of 84.2 percent or P188.3 billion in peso deposits and 15.8 percent or P35.4 billion in foreign currency deposits. Non-interest rate sensitive demand, NOW and savings deposit accounts comprised the biggest block or 77.0 percent (down from 90.2 percent last year) of peso deposits, whereas time deposits accounted for the majority or 72.6 percent (up from 70.2 percent) of foreign currency deposits.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The lower capitalization from last year was mainly brought about by the substantial reduction in surplus, surplus reserves and undivided profits by 21.2 percent or P1.7 billion, primarily from the unprofitable operations of some non-linked thrift banks. Meanwhile, paid-in capital, which merely grew by 0.5 percent or P0.2 billion, hardly made up for the decline in surplus and undivided profits.

By main group, linked thrift banks held a bigger portion of capital at 51.1 percent as against the linked thrift banks’ 48.9 percent. The market structure of capital below shows that non-linked thrift banks consistently held the majority of the capital base in the past except for this period. This was mainly due to the reclassification of a big non-linked thrift bank, Planters DB and its subsidiary Micro Enterprise Bank to linked thrift banks effective October 2004.

The industry remained solvent as CAR on both solo and consolidated basis settled at 17.9 percent as of end-June 2004. Although lower than the 18.9 percent ratio at end-year 2003 and the 20.6 percent ratio at end-year 2002, this period’s CAR was still above the prescribed minimum ratio of 10 percent. By main group, non-linked thrift banks’ CAR stood higher at 19.9 percent compared to linked thrift banks’ 16.0 percent.

There were 18 thrift banks, which failed to comply with the 10 percent benchmark. Anent to the policy of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to have stronger banks, compliance to the prescribed capital requirements remain a going concern. Moreover, there is still an apparent need to build-up capital since there were only 56 out of the 87 operating thrift banks (or 64.4 percent), which complied with the required minimum amount of capital.

RURAL BANKING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

The rural banking industry, as the main receptacle of BSP’s microfinance programs, remained stable and performed consistently above expectations. The industry’s favorable condition was characterized by much improved profitability, lower cost-to-income ratio and stronger capital base with assets, loans and deposits continuously expanding. In addition, intensified microfinance activities augurs well for the industry’s continuing improvement.

For the year ended 31 December 2004, rural banks earned net income after tax (NIAT) of P1.6 billion, a P0.3 billion increment from P1.3 billion same period last year. (Table 23) Consequently, both ROA and ROE ratios improved to 1.8 percent and 11.6 percent over 2003’s 1.7 percent and 10.6 percent, respectively.

Loan and asset quality also remained strong with the 13.3 percent rise in loan portfolio, gross reaching P58.7 billion from the previous year’s P51.8 billion and further supported by the simultaneous decline in the NPL and NPA ratios to 11.5 percent and 15.1 percent from 12.1 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively.

Liquid assets remained high at P22.9 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent from last year’s P21.2 billion. This represented 34.3 percent (down from 36.0 percent) of deposit liabilities and 24.4 percent (down from 25.2 percent) of total assets. The decline in the ratios was brought on by expansion in deposit liabilities and total assets. (Table 24)

Rural Banking System There was a steady growth in Market Structure of Assets total resources reaching P93.8 billion, higher by 11.7 percent than last year’s 2004 P84.0 billion. Rural banks located in 2003 Luzon continued to hold the bulk of the 2002 industry’s total assets at P67.4 billion or 2001 71.8 percent share. This was followed by

OPERATING NETWORK

The moratorium on granting bank licenses was partially lifted in February 2001 to facilitate the entry of microfinance-oriented banks. Following the implementation of Circular No. 273, the number of microfinance- oriented banks (head office/branches) Rural Banking Offices remained the same with rural bank As of End-December 2004 density reaching 1,897 by end- Branches/ Head Total Other December 2004. The higher number Offices Offices of rural bank offices at 1,897 as of end–year 2004 (from 1,818 at end-year Rural Banks 1,897 720 1,177 2003), consisted of 720 head offices Of which : Microfinance Rural Banks 12 4 8 (down from 721) and 1,177 branches/other offices (up from

1,089). Of the total, there were 4 microfinance oriented rural banks with more than 50 percent of their operations dedicated to microfinance activities while an additional 170 rural banks were engaged, to some extent, in microfinance operations.

Although Bangko Sentral decided to partially lift the moratorium on bank branching, growth in the number of rural banks in the industry is not limited to new rural banks created or established.

Instead, the composition and density of rural banks in the country were characterized by the subsequent establishment, closure, conversion to another category and overall consolidation of the industry.

There was only one rural bank established (Bangko Nuestra Señora del Pilar, Inc., which opened for business on 8 June 2004) throughout the year. Two rural banks, RB of Sto. Domingo (Albay) and RB of Culasi, Inc. (Antique), were closed effective on 8 January 2004 and 22 October 2004, respectively.

Meanwhile, four thrift banks converted to rural banks during the year. Lipa City DB and Batangas DB converted to Lipa Bank, Inc. and Balayan Bay RB on 1 March 2004. First Provincial Bank DB became the First Provincial Bank, Inc. (A Rural Bank) effective 15 April 2004 while Nation Bank, came to be known as Nation Bank, Inc. (A Rural Bank) effective 8 November 2004.

There were two consolidations completed in year 2004. Provident RB of Cotabato, RB of Panabo and Network RB started operations on 1 April 2004 as a consolidated bank known as the One Network Rural Bank, Inc, while Muñoz Rural Bank, Inc., Community RB of Guimba, Inc. and GM Bank, Inc. consolidated into one bank with the latter as the surviving bank effective 1 December 2004.

Overall, National Capital Region together with its contiguous areas of Region III and Region IV-A with 810 offices or 42.7 percent still had the most number of rural bank offices. Northern Luzon area (Region I + Region II + Cordillera Autonomous Region) followed with 349 offices or 18.4 percent while the Visayas region accounted for 289 offices or 15.2 percent. The rest of the rural banks were located in Bicol, MIMAROPA and Mindanao. (Table 25)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The rural banking industry consistently improved its profitability over the last five years. NIAT, from a low of P893 million in year 2000, posted an uptrend to P976 million in year 2001, P1.0 billion in year 2002, P1.3 billion in year 2003 and to a peak of P1.6 billion in year 2004. (Table 26)

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The P259 million year-on-year increment in NIAT was brought on by the 14.6 percent increase in net operating income which overtook the 13.8 percent rise in operating expenses.

Net interest income at P6.5 billion continued to be the major source of operating income for the industry. This was P0.9 billion or 16.1 percent higher than last year’s P5.6 billion and comprised 70.5 percent of the total operating income. The large amount of net interest income reflects the industry’s satisfactory loan and asset quality, which can be seen in the higher average net interest margin of 10.7 percent compared to last year’s 10.4 percent.

Meanwhile, the industry managed to further increase its total operating income with the 11.1 percent or P0.3 billion rise in non-interest income. The bulk of which was fee-based income with an 8.2 percent or P0.2 billion increment.

Operating expenses went up by 13.8 percent to P7.7 billion from last year’s P6.8 billion. These consisted mainly of expenses other than write-offs and loss provisions, and amounted to P7.4 billion or 95.8 percent of the total operating expenses during the year.

Classified by region, the most profitable was CALABARZON (Region IV-A) with a NIAT of P277 million, followed by Central Luzon (Region III) with P264 million, Southern Mindanao (Region XI) with P170 million, Northern Mindanao (Region X) with P155 million and Ilocos (Region I) with P131 million. The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) posted the lowest NIAT of P16 million. However, rural banks in the Visayas (Region VIII) incurred a net loss.

The industry continues to offer competitive pricing on deposit liabilities as the average funding cost trailed closely the benchmark 91-day T-bill rate. A sudden shift transpired in 2002 and 2003 with the funding cost getting the upper hand by 180 basis points and 10 basis points, respectively, over the T-bill rate. In 2004, however, it settled back to 6.2 percent vs. the 7.3 percent T-bill rate.

The earning asset yield continued to post substantial interest rate differential, although on a declining trend, against the 91-day T-bill rate for the third consecutive year from a high of 12.8 percent in 2002 before settling to 10.6 percent in 2004. This reflected the underlying improvement beginning in 2001 in loan and asset quality.

Meanwhile, the industry exhibited widening interest spread over the last five years between the earning asset yield and the funding cost. From an average of 9.3 percent in 1998, the interest spread gradually increased to 11.7 percent in 2004 as the industry’s lending rates and funding cost remain less sensitive to T-bill rate fluctuations.

The rural bank’s cost- Rural Banking System: Cost-to-Income Ratio efficiency improved, as well, with a (In P Billions) (In Percent) cost-to-income ratio of 80.7 percent, 10.0 100.0 1.4 percentage points lower than year 8.0 80.0 ago’s 82.1 percent.

Notably, the industry’s cost efficiency ratio was negatively affected by the less efficient regions, which happened to have the bigger market shares. (Table 27)

Likewise, as of end-June 2004, the industry more than complied with the minimum 10 percent agrarian reform and 25 percent agricultural credit allocation at 17.6 percent and 29.4 percent, respectively, aggregating to P8.7 billion for agrarian reform beneficiaries and P23.2 billion for agricultural loans in general.

In the last five years, the NPLs Rural Banking System of the industry hovered around a NPLs and NPL Coverage Ratio steady level. From P6.7 billion in In P Billion In Percent 2000, NPLs declined to P6.3 billion in 15.0 50.0

NPLs Loan Loss Reserves (Table 28) NPL Ratio NPL Coverage Ratio

Nonetheless, the continued yearly growth in both lending and gross assets, which either surpassed or complemented the increase or decrease in NPLs and NPAs, resulted to improvements in the NPL and NPA ratios. From the 17.4 percentage level in 2000, the industry’s NPL ratio gradually eased down between 2001 and 2003 to finally reach the lowest of 11.5 percent in 2004. This is consistent with Bangko Sentral’s policy of accelerated asset clean-up to make the rural banks stronger and more competitive in their lending activities. Similarly, the industry’s NPA ratio steadily improved from 19.3 percentage level in 2000 and further declined between 2001 and 2003 to finally settle to a low of 15.1 percent in 2004.

Meantime, settlement of restructured loans (RLs) was also exerted as RLs gross still declined in 2004 by 4.1 percent to P0.6 billion from P0.7 billion in 2003 and P1.1 billion in 2002.

Loan loss provisioning likewise exhibited improvements. NPL coverage ratio maintained a steady growth from 29.3 percent in 2000, 36.4 percent in 2001, 34.9 percent in 2002, 36.1 percent in 2003 and finally peaked at 37.4 percent in 2004. Accordingly, the NPA coverage ratio increased from 18.2 percent in 2003 to 19.0 percent in 2004, the same highest ratio posted in 2001.

DEPOSITS. Deposit mobilization increased by 13.1 percent to P66.6 billion from last year’s P58.9 billion. The P7.7 billion increment in total deposits can be traced to the P5.5 billion or 13.5 percent growth in saving deposits. Time and demand/NOW deposits likewise contributed P2.2 billion.

Visayas (Region VII) at P4.4 billion or 6.7 percent. These 5 regions comprised 67.9 percent of the total deposit liabilities of rural banks. On the other hand, the ARMM had the smallest share at 0.1 percent.

CAPITALIZATION. Total capital accounts of the industry rose by 9.7 percent to P14.7 billion from last year’s P13.4 billion. Both paid-in-capital and surplus, surplus reserves and undivided profits contributed to the P1.3 billion increment, rising by P0.9 billion or 9.3 percent and P0.4 billion or 10.9 percent, respectively.

However, the 9.7 percent hike in capital accounts was inadequate to buffer the 11.7 percent rise in total assets. This pulled the ratio of total capital accounts to total assets down to 15.7 percent from 16.0 percent at end-year 2003. Since end-year 2001, the expansion in total assets of the industry continuously outpaced the rise in total capital. This led to a downtrend in the ratio of total capital accounts to total assets from its peak at 17.0 percent in 2000 to 15.7 percent in 2004.

Classified by region, CALABARZON still held the biggest share of P3.4 billion or 23.1 percent of total capital, followed by Central Luzon (Region III) at P2.5 billion or 16.9 percent, Northern Mindanao (Region X) at P1.4 billion or 9.6 percent, NCR at P1.0 billion or 6.9 percent and Ilocos (Region I) at P0.9 billion or 6.5 percent. The remaining P5.5 billion or 37.1 percent was held by the remaining 12 regions, of which ARMM had the lowest capital at P74 million or 0.5 percent of total capital accounts.

As of end-June 2004, the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of the industry declined to 16.2 percent from 16.5 percent at end-year 2003. This ratio was still well above the minimum 10 percent requirement. However, a remaining 130 banks still posted CAR below the 10 percent minimum.

The cooperative banking industry remained resilient throughout 2004, with positive developments recorded in its underlying fundamentals: higher levels of assets, lending, deposits and capital and marked improvement in earnings with lower cost-to income ratio. Likewise, the industry was able to arrest the deterioration of its delinquency ratio, which remained within the level of the previous year’s ratio.

Cooperative banks posted higher profits as net income after tax (NIAT) for the year ended 31 December 2004 reached P142 million up by 9.9 percent from last year’s P129 million. (Table 29) However, with larger expansion in total assets and capital, return on assets (ROA) ratio leveled at 2.4 percent while return on equity (ROE) was lower at 13.8 percent compared to last year’s 14.4 percent. (Table 30)

Reflecting good credit management, the industry curbed its NPL ratio at 12.0 percent despite expanded lending activities. Similarly, the NPA ratio just slightly increased to 12.8 percent from 12.7 percent last year as foreclosure proceedings were pursued to preserve the industry’s loan quality.

Cooperative Banking System Total resources grew by 13.4 Market Structure of Assets percent reaching P6.4 billion in year 2004 from P5.7 billion in 2003. 2004 Geographically, during the years 1997 2003 and 1998, cooperative banks situated 2002 in Mindanao held most of the 2001 industry’s assets but beginning 1999 2000 the biggest share shifted to 1999 cooperative banks located in Luzon. 1998 As of end-December 2004, 1997 cooperative banks located in Luzon 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% held 63.8 percent market share, while remaining market share went to Luzon Visayas Mindanao cooperative banks in Mindanao (19.7 percent) and Visayas (16.5 percent).

The industry managed to sustain depositors’ confidence as deposit liabilities increased by 13.6 percent to P3.7 billion from last year’s P3.3 billion. Liquid assets to deposits ratio remained adequate at 31.0 percent, notwithstanding the 0.4 percentage point decline from the 31.4 percent last year.

Meanwhile, the industry remained well capitalized as total capital accounts improved by 14.6 percent to P1.1 billion from P1.0 billion last year.

Consistently since end-year 2000, Central Luzon (Region III) led in terms of having the biggest share in assets, loan portfolio, deposit liabilities and capital accounts.

OPERATING NETWORK

Efforts to improve the accessibility of cooperative banks remained unimpressive with only 3 new offices added to a total of 106 (composed of 44 head offices and 62 branches) from last year’s 103 (composed of 44 head offices and 59 branches). Throughout the year, no cooperative bank opened, closed or got involved in any merger, consolidation, conversion to other bank category.

By region, Central Luzon had the most number of cooperative banks with 24 banking offices (7 head offices and 17 other offices), followed by Region X – Northern Mindanao with 15 banking offices (4 head offices and 11 other offices). Both Region IV-A – CALABARZON and Region II – Cagayan Region each had 10 banking offices (3 head offices and 7 other offices) while the rest of the regions had less than 10 banking offices.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consistent improvement in the profitability of the cooperative banking industry was achieved over the last four years. From a low of P17 million in year 2000, NIAT steadily rose to reach P142 million in year 2004. (Table 32)

The 9.9 percent or P13 million growth in earnings from last year’s P129 million was attained on account of improved total operating income, which grew by 13.4 percent or P84 million to P719 million. The increment was driven mainly by non-interest income, which swelled by 17.3 percent, contributing P52 million to the total operating income. Non-interest income mostly are fee-based income also increased by P28 million to P259 million from P231 million last year representing the 74.1 percent share of non-interest income.

Reflecting the strong competition in the loan market, net interest income incurred a marginal increase of 9.9 percent, equivalent to P34 million. The rise in net interest income supported the uptrend that began from a low of P195 million in year 2000, increasing to P266 million in year 2001, P314 million in year 2002, P336 million in year 2003 and finally reaching the peak at P370 million in year 2004. Notably, the industry managed to maintain its net interest margin of 7.9 percent.

Meanwhile, the 14.1 percent or P73 million increment in operating expenses came from bad debts writen-off and provisions for probable losses (P16 million), overhead expenses (P36 million) and other expenses (P21 million).

Matched against the 91-day T-bill rate, funding cost exhibited fluctuating trend from years 1997 to 2001. Funding cost was lower than the 91-day T-bill rate in 1997, 1998 and 2001. This changed in 1999, 2000 and in 2002 up to 2004, when the cost of funds had a premium over the 91-day T-bill rate from as high as 393 basis points in 2002 to as low as 99 basis points in 2000. This premium in 2004 settled at 136 basis points.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

Meanwhile, the industry’s earning asset yield ratio was consistently over the 91-day T- bill rate with the interest rate differential ranging from a low 165 basis points in 1998 to as high as 1,165 basis points in 2002 before settling to 918 basis points in 2004. Notably though, the earning asset yield had been hovering around a high level since 1997 as the industry preferred to lend than invest in government securities given its capacity to generate much needed funds.

Likewise, cooperative banks continued to realize wider interest spread since year 2002 as evidenced by the widening gap between the earning asset yield and the funding cost. From a low of 4.0 percent in 2000, it steadily increased to 6.5 percent in 2001, 7.7 percent in 2002 and 7.9 percent in 2003 as both loan and asset quality began to improve since 2001. In 2004, it settled to 7.8 percent as the 30 basis point increase in funding cost overtook the 20 basis point rise in earning asset yield.

Over the past five years, Cooperative Banking System: Cost-to-Income Ratio cost efficiency of the industry (In P Billions) (In Percent) improved as well.

ROA remained at 2.4 percent while ROE slightly dropped to 13.8 percent from 14.4 percent the previous year. These transpired as the increments in both total assets and total capital were not able to generate the relative level of income compared with that of 2003. Nonetheless, both the ROA and ROE in 2004 still posted a marked improvement over the ratios recorded during the years 2000 to 2002. Cooperative Banking System: Comparative Return on Assets (ROA)

Nonetheless, even if there was no improvement in the NPL ratio, this was still at a level lower than the ratios posted during the years 1999 to 2003. In fact, the ratio was 12.4 percentage points lower than its peak at 25.4 percent in 1999. Moreover, the cooperative banking industry’s NPL ratio was lower if not only slightly higher than the delinquency ratios posted by other banking industries, i.e., universal/commercial banks at 14.8 percent, thrift banks at 11.4 percent and rural banks at 11.5 percent.

NON-BANKS WITH QUASI-BANKING FUNCTIONS (NBQBS)

OVERVIEW

The NBQBs industry showed significant progress and became stronger as it registered a growth in total assets, halting two consecutive years of downtrend. As of end-year 2004, total assets reached P33.5 billion, up by 16.5 percent from end-2003’s P28.7 billion. (Table 35) Investment houses (IHs) with QB license accounted for P26.7 billion or 79.8 percent of total NBQB assets, while the remaining P6.8 billion or 20.2 percent was held by financing companies (FCs) with QB license.

For the one-year period ended 31 December 2004, the industry remained profitable with a net income after tax (NIAT) of P1.2 billion. However, this was 6.3 percent lower than the P1.3 billion realized in 2003 due to the turnaround from a negative trend to a significant 233.5 percent positive growth in the provisions for income tax resulting to a P0.4 billion slash in net income before tax (NIBT). The increase in provisions for income tax was traced to the rise in net operating income, by a hefty 50.9 percent and the simultaneously 40.9 percent decline in profits from assets sold covered by final transfer tax. Consequently, the return on assets (ROA) ratio slid to 3.9 percent from 4.5 percent and return on equity (ROE) ratio fell to 7.4 percent from 8.0 percent.

Despite the increase in borrowings, NBQBs still remained well capitalized with higher capital-to-assets ratio at 55.1 percent from 52.0 percent last year. (Table 36)

Non-performing loans (NPLs) and non-performing assets (NPAs) both exhibited substantial improvement as their levels went down by 35.7 percent and 16.8 percent, respectively. This led to the decline in both the NPL and NPA ratios to 4.0 percent and 5.5 percent from last year’s 5.8 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively.

OPERATING NETWORK

Philippine Depository and Trust Company started its operation as an NBQB on 25 October 2004. This raised the number of operating NBQB offices to 31 consisting of 12 head offices (6 IHs, 5 FCs and 1 non-bank with QBF function) and 19 branches/other offices. (Schedule 1)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The industry continued to operate profitably in 2004 as NIBT exhibited an 18.0 percent growth reaching P1.7 billion from P1.4 billion last year. However, NIAT declined by 6.3 percent to P1.3 billion as provisions for income tax ballooned to P489 million, 233.5 percent higher than the P147 million last year. (Table 37)

The provisions for income tax were largely influenced by the rise in taxable income, i.e., net operating income by a hefty 50.9 percent to P1.3 billion from P0.9 billion last year. Simultaneously, profits from assets sold, which were already subjected to payment of final transfer tax, declined by 40.9 percent to P204 million from P345 million last year. As a result, the revenue generated from these extraordinary transactions not subject to corporate income tax contributed only to 11.9 percent of NIBT as compared to last year’s 23.8 percent share.

The decline in NIAT pushed ROA and ROE down to 3.9 percent (from 4.5 percent last year) and 7.4 percent (from 8.0 percent), respectively.

The bulk of the industry’s total operating income came from IHs at P1.8 billion (or 78.6 percent) and the balance of P500 million (or 21.4 percent) was contributed by FCs. Leasing income as the primary source of FC’s revenues reached P485 billion or 97.0 percent of total operating income. Meanwhile, the IHs revenues were mostly fee-based income (P659 million or 35.9 percent of total operating income) followed by trading income (P572 million or 31.1 percent) and net interest income (P539 million or 29.4 percent).

Net interest income (inclusive of leasing income) largely contributed to the 17.6 percent or P0.3 billion rise in total operating income, expanding by 24.4 percent to P1.0 billion from P0.8 billion last year. Improvement in loan and asset quality, manifested by higher average net interest margin of 6.0 percent compared to year ago’s 5.0 percent, was instrumental in the rise of net interest income. Similarly, non-interest income rose by 13.0 percent accounting for the P0.1 billion increment in total operating income. Both fee-based income and trading income were becoming stable sources of revenues reaching an aggregate of P1.3 billion from P0.9 billion last year.

On the other hand, earnings from extraordinary activities decreased in 2004 to P369 million equivalent to 21.6 percent (down from 38.7 percent in 2003) of net income before tax. A significant portion of these extraordinary activities consisted of profits realized from assets sold amounting to P204 million, down by 40.9 percent from P345 million in 2003. In addition, other extraordinary credits declined by 40.4 percent to P107 million from P180 million.

Operating expenses dropped by 9.2 percent to P1.0 billion from P1.1 billion last year. This was on account of the 13.7 percent reduction in overhead and other operating expenses to P0.9 billion from P1.1 billion. This more than offset the P47 million increase in loss provisioning in 2004.

Comparing with the 91-day T-bill rate trend, the funding cost of NBQBs was lower than the 91-day T-bill rate in years 1999, 2001and 2004 with the interest spread ranging from a high 306 basis points in 1999 to a low of 4 basis points in 2001. The negative effect of the financial predicament of certain IHs brought into the limelight in 2000, with the closure of another IH with QB function (i.e., East Asia Capital Corporation) on 26 June 2003, put pressure on the NBQB industry. This placed a premium on the borrowing activities of NBQBs over the 91-day T-bill rate in 2000, 2002 and 2003 with the interest rate differential ranging from a high 226 basis points in 2000 to a low 16 basis points in 2003. The NBQBs appeared to have regained public confidence as the 91-day T-bill rate took the upper hand in 2004 by 134 basis points interest spread over the funding cost.

MAJOR BALANCE SHEET TRENDS

ASSETS. From a continuous decline after end-year 2001, total assets rebounded, reaching P33.5 billion at end-year 2004, an increment of 16.5 percent from P28.7 billion at end- year 2003.

The P4.8 billion increase in total assets led to corresponding upswing in investments, net by 77.7 percent or P5.9 billion. This, together with the expansion in ROPOA, net by 2.6 percent or P35 million, compensated for the decline in all other asset accounts: cash and due from banks by 20.6 percent or P388 million, interbank loan receivables by 32.2 percent or P499 million and loans, net by 0.3 percent or P41 million.

One IH which held 46.5 percent of the industry’s total assets and which had a year-on- year asset growth of P6.8 billion, contributed largely to the increase in total resources. The same IH whose investments (59.6 percent of the industry’s total investments) rose by P5.1 billion also influenced the rise in the NBQB’s investments to P13.5 billion.

At end-year 2004, the share of investments, net to total assets rose to 40.3 percent from 26.4 percent at end-year 2003. On the other hand, the share of all other major asset accounts to total assets declined: loans, net (34.9 percent from 40.9 percent); cash and due from banks (4.5 percent from 6.6 percent); ROPOA, net (4.1 percent from 4.6 percent); interbank loans receivables (3.1 percent from 5.4 percent); and other assets (13.1 percent from 16.2 percent).

Notwithstanding the decline in cash and due from banks, the liquidity of the industry improved as net investments increased. The ratio of liquid assets to bills payable reached 76.8 percent, the highest ratio recorded since end-year 2000. In contrast, total loans to bills payable fell to 89.1 percent from 137.2 percent last year.

The NPLs posted a 120.0 much bigger decline at 35.7 percent 100.0 80.0 (P534 million from P831 million last 1.0 60.0 year) leading to improved NPL 40.0 ratio of 4.0 percent from last year’s 20.0 5.8 percent.

This raised the NPL coverage ratio to 124.8 percent from the previous year’s 114.6 percent.

Declining NPL ratio was mainly due to loan restructuring as gross restructured loans increased by 7.9 percent to P0.4 billion from P0.3 billion last year.

However, the NPA coverage ratio slowed down to 46.0 percent from last year’s 53.6 percent mainly because of the 23.5 percent reduction in the loan loss provision for ROPOA. Notably though, it is still 21.4 percentage points higher than the 24.6 percent level recorded in 2000.

LIABILITIES. Funding was generated mainly by bills payable, which increased by 45.0 percent to P15.1 billion from P10.4 billion last year. Deposit substitutes, likewise, held the bulk (P11.1 billion or 74.1 percent) of total bills payable.

Other liabilities also provided additional funds amounting to a total of P2.2 billion, most of which were advances from stockholders.

CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. Total capital accounts of NBQBs stood at P16.2 billion, down by 2.2 percent from P16.6 billion last year. This came about primarily from the lower surplus, surplus reserves and undivided profits, which were down by 8.6 percent or P680 million to P7.3 billion from P8.0 billion last year. This was partly offset by additional paid-in capital of 3.7 percent to P8.9 billion from P8.6 billion.

With lower capital accounts and the simultaneous expansion in total assets, NBQBs posted capital to total assets ratio of 48.4 percent, down from 57.7 percent at end-year 2003.

Capital infusion by stockholders was still an important source of funds, as paid-in capital comprised 55.1 percent of total capital accounts from 52.0 percent last year.

NON STOCK SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS (NSSLAS)

OVERVIEW

Although at a slower pace, the industry continued to grow in 2004 in terms of total assets, loans and capital accounts. The industry also posted favorable solvency and liquidity ratios. However, loan and asset quality remained a major concern since 2003 as little progress was made in addressing non-performing accounts.

Despite limited source of funds from association members, total assets grew reaching P66.9 billion from P61.4 billion last year. However, the growth in resources continued to slow down, from a high of 26.6 percent in 2000 to a low of 9.0 percent in 2004. Similarly, although total capital accounts increased by 8.0 percent to P59.0 billion from P54.6 billion last year, this was the lowest increment recorded since year-end 2000.

Adequate liquidity was maintained as both cash and due from banks and liquid assets accounted for 113.2 percent (down from 128.5 percent) and 202.3 percent (down from 260.5 percent), respectively, of total deposits. The decline in these ratios can be attributed to the growth in total deposits outpacing the rise in both cash and due from banks and liquid assets.

Total capital continued to be the main source of funding, as it comprised 88.2 percent of total resources. Despite the decline from last year’s 89.0 percent, the ratio was still better than the ratios posted in years 2000 to 2002. (Table 39)

Loan portfolio, gross further increased by 14.0 percent to P59.4 billion from P52.1 billion a year ago and credit quality improved as non-performing loans (NPL) ratio declined to 15.3 percent from 16.7 percent last year. This influenced the asset quality, which came out better this period as the non-performing assets (NPA) ratio settled to 12.8 percent from 14.1 percent.

Even as the NPL and NPA ratios declined at end-year 2004, the concern over the credit and asset quality of the industry remained, as these ratios were still exceptionally higher than the lowest ratios posted at end-year 2002. The NPL ratio was significantly higher by 9.2 percentage points from 6.1 percent at end-year 2002, while the NPA ratio was more than twice the 5.5 percent at end-year 2002.

OPERATING NETWORK

As of end-year 2004, the number of NSSLA stood at 120 offices (83 head offices and 37 branches), up from the 118 offices (85 head offices and 33 branches) at end-year 2003. (Schedule 1)

ASSETS. Although at a slower pace than in previous years, the total resources of the NSSLA industry continued to grow by 9.0 percent to P66.9 billion from P61.4 billion last year. Cash and due from banks, loans, net and other assets grew by 7.7 percent, 10.8 percent and 42.5 percent, respectively, offsetting the combined 23.9 percent decline in ROPOA and investments, net.

The industry focused on the credit needs of its members as loans, net accounted for P53.2 billion or 79.6 percent share of total assets (up from 78.3 percent at end-year 2003). Meanwhile, liquid assets (cash and due from banks and net of investments) were also prioritized, comprising the second largest asset share at P9.7 billion or 14.5 percent. The rest of the asset mix were: other assets at P3.7 billion or 5.5 percent and ROPOA, net at P0.3 billion or 0.4 percent.

Total liabilities of the industry at P7.9 billion accounted for only 11.8 percent (up from P6.8 billion or 11.0 percent last year) of total fund sources. These were mostly in the form of deposit liabilities amounting to P4.8 billion from P3.9 billion last year and were kept at a low level at 7.2 percent of total funding sources.

Most of the industry’s funds came from contributions of association members as capital accounts rose to P59.0 billion from P54.6 billion last year. Paid-in capital comprised 91.3 percent share of total capital accounts while the remaining 8.7 percent share were surplus and reserves.

LOANS. Lending activities of the industry further expanded as total loan portfolio grew by 14.0 percent to P59.4 billion from P52.1 billion last year. Out of the 83 NSSLAs, 51 or 61.5 percent posted expansion in their loan portfolio while only 25 or 30.1 percent recorded a decline. The remaining 7 NSSLAs or 8.4 percent maintained their loan levels.

Consistently, the combined Armed Forces & Police SLA and AIR Materiel Wing SLA held more than ¾ of the industry’s total loan portfolio accounting for the 78.2 percent share by end-year 2004.

Nonetheless, the industry compensated for this high number of bad loans with higher loss provisioning. The NPL coverage ratio rebounded to 67.6 percent from a low of 46.0 percent posted at end-year 2003. However, this was still 17.3 percentage points short than the highest ratio at 84.9 percent posted at end-year 2002. Similarly, the NPA coverage ratio was also enhanced to 65.6 percent from last year’s 43.5 percent. Since end-year 1999, this ratio ranked second to the highest at 76.6 percent ratio recorded at end-year 2000. (Table 40)

DEPOSITS. Although deposit liabilities expanded by 22.3 percent to P4.8 billion from P3.9 billion last year, their share to total funding sources at 7.2 percent remained at single-digit level. This indicates that association members have little funds to spare for deposits.

CAPITALIZATION. Substantial funding continued to come from capital accounts which at end-year 2004 stood at P59.0 billion, up by P4.4 billion or 8.0 percent from end-year 2003. Capital accounts consistently remain the primary source of funds hovering from 80.0 percent to 90.0 percent of total liabilities and capital. In 2004, the increment in capital accounts all came from members’ capital contributions as surplus and reserves inched down by 0.1 percent to P5.1 billion.

The industry’s total capital accounts-to-total assets ratio remained high even as the ratio inched down to 88.2 percent from 89.0 percent last year. This developed as the 9.0 percent rise in total assets outpaced the 8.0 percent increase in total capital accounts.

OFFSHORE BANKING SYSTEM

OVERVIEW

The offshore banking system’s total resources registered growth for the second consecutive year after recovering from the slump in 2002. As of end-December 2004, total resources were higher by US$201 million or 33.3 percent to US$805 million from US$604 million same period last year. Net income after tax (NIAT) for 2004 reached US$5 million, although lower by US$1 million or 16.7 percent over the same period last year at US$6 million. (Tables 41 and 42)

With the merger of Credit Agricole Indosuez and Credit Lyonnaise to CALYON Corporate and Investment Bank in March 2004, there were nine (9) remaining offshore banking units (OBUs) operating in the country consisting of 5 originating from Europe, 3 from America and 1 from Asia. This number was seven (7) Units less than the sixteen (16) OBUs operating at end-year 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating income in 2004 was maintained at US$19 million, with non-interest income and net interest income contributing 52.6 percent (US$10 million) and 47.4 percent (US$9 million), respectively. However, operating expenses went up by 16.7 percent or US$2 million to US$14 million. Overhead expenses remained at US$4 million but other expenses increased Offshore Banking System: Cost-to-Income Ratio by 28.6 percent or US$2 million; thus, NIAT slipped by US$1.0 to US$5 (In P Billions) (In Percent) million. 50.0 90.0 45.0 80.0 40.0 70.0 The level of operating income 35.0 60.0 30.0 remained the lowest since 1997 with 50.0 25.0 40.0 the gradual decline in the number of 20.0 15.0 30.0 operating OBUs, reflective of the 10.0 20.0 5.0 10.0 increasing consolidation of financial 0.0 0.0 institutions in the global setting. 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Meantime, the rise in operating Operating Operating Expense Cost to Income (net of bad debt/prov) Income expenses has not been contained resulting to a higher cost-to-income ratio by 13.5 percentage points to 71.4 percent from 57.9 percent last year.

MAJOR BALANCE SHEET TRENDS

As the industry is restricted from obtaining funds from the public, the due to head office/other branches continued to be the main source of funding. This amounted to US$550 million and accounted for 68.3 percent of the system’s total liabilities. This was higher by 48.6 percent or US$180 million from end-December2003. Likewise, interbank borrowings, the second biggest source of funding grew by 8.8 percent to US$210 million from US$193 million. On the other hand, deposits of non-residents other than banks declined by 15.4 percent or US$4 million to US$22 million from US$26 million.

Funds were primarily channeled to resident borrowers (US$212 million), invested in bonds and other securities (US$474 million) and lent to local banks, including the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (US$130 million). These were 24.0 percent, 53.7 percent and 14.7 percent, respectively, of gross assets.

Apparently, OBUs preferred to place their funds in investment in less risky government bonds and other securities as the account continued to soar by 120.5 percent or US$259 million to US$474 million. However, 92.6 percent or US$439 million of these funds was placed in bonds and other securities issued by non-residents. The amount exceeded by 107.1 percent or US$227 million the US$212 million gross loans of resident borrowers. Only 7.4 percent or US$35 million were invested in bonds and other securities issued by resident- issuers.

On the other hand, due from other banks fell by 23.4 percent or US$40 million to US$131 million from US$171 million. Likewise, loans, gross declined further by 9.2 percent or US$26 million to US$256 million from US$282 million.

TRUST OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

As of end-December 2004, total assets of the 56 trust-licensed institutions (33 universal/commercial banks, 14 thrift banks and 9 investment houses) aggregated to P812.8 billion. Trust assets grew by 15.0 percent or P105.8 billion from last year’s P707.0 billion, more than one and half times the growth rate of assets of the Philippine banking system.

Universal and commercial banks still dominated the market and held about 96.0 percent or P780.7 billion (vs. P680.7 billion last year). Thrift banks held a mere 3.1 percent or P25.0 (vs. P19.3 billion), while investment houses’ share was an insignificant 0.9 percent or P7.2 billion (vs. P7.0 billion). (Schedule 4)

The trust industry remained liquid as shown by improved liquidity ratios. The bulk of trust assets were invested in government securities at 52.1 percent or P423.7 billion, the rest were invested in private instruments and shares of stocks (14.6 percent or P118.5 billion), cash and due from banks (12.9 percent or P105.1 billion) and in CTF/UITFs (4.6 percent or P37.2 billion). (Tables 43 and 44)

TRUST DEPARTMENT INCOME

The trust business remains profitable and competitive as shown by the profitability indicators. Trust department income continued to be in the uptrend. For the one-year ended 31 December 2004, trust income was higher by 3.8 percent at P4.9 billion from last year’s P4.7 billion. Moreover, operating income reached P3.6 billion, up by 15.7 percent or P0.5 billion (from P3.1 billion). Its trend was also trekking uphill, rising by an average of 23.9 percent for the four-year period ended 31 December 2004. Likewise, the ratio of operating income to total trust assets gradually increased from 0.3 percent at end-December 2002 to 0.4 percent at end- December 2004.

In 2004, the trust industry was able to reduce its expenses by 19.2 percent to P1.3 from P1.6 billion, resulting in a lower cost-to-income ratio at 26.5 percent from 34.1 percent. Meanwhile, the ratio of trust department income to the average trust assets was maintained at 0.5 percent. Trust income was only 2.6 percent of the banking system’s total operating income (vs. 2.7 percent last year). (Tables 43 and 44)

MAJOR BALANCE SHEET TRENDS

ASSETS. While assets of the trust industry continued to grow, the pace slowed down at 15.0 percent and 18.5 percent in 2004 and 2003, respectively, compared to the 27.0 percent growth posted in 2002. Meantime, the banks’ trust assets expanded by 15.1 percent, higher by 3.3 percentage points than the 11.8 percent growth in domestic deposit liabilities (excluding trust deposits) of these banks. Comparatively, the ratio of banks’ trust assets to their domestic deposit liabilities (excluding trust deposits) continued to rise from a low of 23.8 percent at end-year 2001 to as high as 33.8 percent at end-year 2004.

STATUS REPORT ON THE PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, SECOND SEMESTER 2004

The asset portfolio consisted mainly of liquid and relatively less risky financial transactions, as reflected by the asset quality indicators. The trust industry placed 52.1 percent or P423.7 billion of their funds in government securities, investing less in private instruments and shares of stocks which declined to P118.5 billion or 14.6 percent (from P140.5 billion or 19.9 percent last year) of total trust assets (Tables 45)

Meanwhile, cash and due from banks, the third largest component (12.9 percent) of trust assets, rose by 25.1 percent to P105.1 billion from P84.0 billion. Likewise, other assets (6.3 percent) increased by 50.0 percent to P51.6 billion, including investments in CTFs/UITFs (4.6 percent), which were also up by 25.7 percent to P37.2 billion.

Decline in asset share were posted by loans, net (7.8 percent from 8.9 percent last year) and by investments in real estate (1.6 percent from 1.8 percent). Real and other properties acquired in settlement of loans, whereby net posted stayed at 0.1 percent of the total trust assets.

ACCOUNTABILITIES. The industry was funded mainly by major fiduciary services with respective shares reaching 49.6 percent (TOFA), 36.6 percent (CTF), and 13.8 percent (IMA) of the industry’s total accountabilities by end-December 2004. It may be noted that CTFs, which would soon be replaced by the UTIFs, continue to increase their share from only 24.7 percent at end-year 2001, while IMAs’ share kept on declining from 19.3 percent at end-year 2001.

The year-on-year increments of these accounts (i.e., TOFA – P51.4 billion, CTF – P47.6 billion and IMA – P6.8 billion) funded the 15.0 percent trust assets growth. Trust System: IMA, CTF and TOFA Distribution
