Bangsamoro peace deal credit-positive for PH – Moody’s

THE Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) should be credit-positive for the country as peace should bring about greater stability necessary for sustaining economic growth, ratings agency Moody’s Investors Service said.

Moody’s said the peace deal itself will encourage investment in the region and provide scope for the development of more profitable industries, such as mining and agribusiness.
