How Leveraged is the Philippine Economy Relative to Other Global Economies?

Crossposted from my other blog: "The System is Broken"


Today is a doozy.  Spain is imploding and has followed Italy in imposing a short selling ban.  Six countries out of seventeen countries in the Eurozone are already in recession.  Greece and Ireland are in a depression. The US is at or is nearing a recession.  China, the world's second largest economy, is slowing.  So is India.

It's been obvious for some time that large swaths of Europe are in a sovereign debt crisis.  First, Iceland, then Ireland, then Greece and Portugal, and now Spain.  Italy soon to follow.  Quite a bit of blame for the crisis has been placed on the creation of the Euro currency, which allowed the monetary but not fiscal and economic union of the Eurozone countries, resulting in economic imbalances between those countries and the rest of the world.  Quite a bit of blame has also been placed on the financial leverage of those economies.  Greece, which recently had the largest debt restructuring of a sovereign nation and whose debtholders experienced a 75% haircut, will, if all goes well, still have a debt to GDP ratio of 120% by 2020!

So all this brings to mind the question: How leveraged is the Philippine economy relative to other global economies?  Are we the next Greece or Spain.  Based on the latest available data, we are at or below the global average.

With a Public Debt to GDP Ratio of 48.89% as of 2009, we are slightly above the global average of 47.90%.

The Philippines is totally not out of the woods yet.  Since at least 60% of the global economy is experiencing a slowdown, there's a strong chance that the Philippine economy will experience a slowdown as well in the not too distant future. Let's not forget that the economies of Iceland, Ireland, and Spain were brought down by a banking crisis.  Iceland's banking sector was huge relative to the size of its economy and when the financial crisis of 2008 struck, it's banking system collapsed as well.  Both Ireland and Spain experienced massive real estate bubbles.  The their subsequent bursting led to an explosion of non-performing loans in the banking system.  The ratio of Philippine NPLs to GDP was only 1.61% as of 2011, well below the global average of 5.56% for the same period.  Lest we get too complacent, we have to remember that Ireland's NPL to GDP ratio was only 1.56% in 2007.  A year later, during the 2008 financial crisis, it was 5.39%.  The following year, it nearly quadrupled to 20.14% and has remained above 20% ever since.  We could suffer the same fate, if we're not too careful.
