Philippine president Fidel Ramos is set to meet US lenders and watch the ceremonial launching of $500 million in sovereign bonds. The pres will showcase the country's stability and relatively stable economic growth to IMF director Michel Camdessus, World Bank pres James Wolfensohn, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Commerce Secretary William Daley. Pres Ramos maintains that the country's democratic structure functions better compared to when he first took office and that the Philippines is no longer subject to IMF policies.

The IMF will resume talks with the Philippines on Jan, 1994, with regard to the latter's new economic development program. IMF's decision to hold a new round of talks with Philippine negotiators came after Philippine Pres Fidel Ramos met with IMF Managing Dir Michael Camdessus during the former's US visit. Camdessus believes Ramos' economic program will succeed if the Philippine government would adopt stronger economic policies.
