SHORT-TERM foreign investments in July resulted in a net inflow of $1.38 billion, reversing the net outflow of $27.26 million in the previous month, data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed.
Foreign investments registered with the central bank through authorized agents — also known as “hot money” because these investments can be moved quickly elsewhere to maximize profits from interest rates — were about 43.5-percent higher than the net inflow of $961.58 million reported in July last year.
