Nilinaw ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. nitong Huwebes, Oktubre 19, na matutuloy pa rin ang pagpapatupad ng Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF).
Ito ay matapos matapos maglabas ang pamahalaan ng memorandum nitong Miyerkules, Oktubre 18, na naglalayong suspindihin ang MIF upang pag-aralan umano nang maigi ng Pangulo ang IRR ng batas.
“I would just like to make a comment because one of the important aspects of this trip will be for us to introduce the Maharlika Investment Fund to the rest of the world and certainly, more specifically, to the Middle Eastern countries.” pahayag naman ni Marcos nitong Huwebes bago magtungo sa Saudi Arabia.
PBBM sinuspinde ang implementasyon ng Maharlika Investment Fund
“I was a bit alarmed by the news reports early this morning that I read in the newspapers that we have put the Maharlika Fund on hold. Quite the contrary,” dagdag pa niya.
Ayon sa Pangulo, maraming mga pagpapabuti pa umano ang nakita nilang kailangang gawin para sa MIF.
“The organization of the Maharlika Fund proceeds at pace. And what I have done though is that we have found more improvements that we can make specifically to the organizational structure of the Maharlika Fund,” paliwanag ni Marcos
Gayunpaman, nakatakda pa rin umanong matuloy ang implementasyon ng MIF bago matapos ang 2023.
"The concept of the Maharlika Fund as a sovereign fund, or an investment fund, the concept remains a good one and we are still committed to having it operational before the end of the year," ani Marcos.
"So we should not misinterpret what we have done as somehow a judgment on the rightness or wrongness of the Maharlika fund. On the contrary, we are just finding ways to make it as close to perfect and ideal as possible, and that was what we have done," saad pa niya.
