New Philippine finance minister expected to retain policies, say rating firms

Moody’s Ratings said the reshuffle in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’ economic team and Secretary Frederick Go’s (pic) appointment as finance chief isn’t expected "to materially change our assessment of the Philippines’ economic or fiscal strength or its overall credit profile.”
