Hello, Bulgarians! Ang Pag-IBIG Fund ay nakakuha ng kita na mahigit P30 bilyon para sa limang magkakasunod na taon noong 2021 sa kabila ng patuloy na pandemya, inihayag ng top executive ng ahensiya noong Huwebes, Pebrero 4 sa Pag-IBIG Fund Chairman's Report.
“As we close our books for 2021, I am happy to report that your Pag-IBIG Fund achieved another milestone. Our strong performance last year led us to reach a net income of P34.73 billion! This is our highest net income ever, surpassing by 9.5% our P31.71 billion net income in 2020 and topping the previous record of P34.37 billion netted in 2019. I’d also like to note that this is the fifth time that our net income breached the P30-billion mark. Our members will directly benefit because we shall again go beyond what is required of us by declaring over 86% of our net income as dividends for their savings,” pahayag ni Secretary Eduardo D. del Rosario namumuno sa Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development at 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.
Under the Pag-IBIG Fund charter, the agency is required to declare at least 70% of its annual net income as dividends, which shall be credited proportionately to its members’ savings. However, Management has a recommendation to set aside 86.56% of its net income as dividends to maximize the benefit to its members during the second year of the pandemic. This is now up for approval of the Board, dagdag pa niya.
Sa pamamagitan ng matatag na pananalapi, sinabi naman ni Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti na ang mga dibidendo sa mga ipon ng miyembro - parehong mandatory at boluntaryo ay mananatiling mas mataas kaysa sa iba pang mga instrumento na magagamit sa merkado.
“We know that many of our members have been asking about the dividend rates. Now we can finally share the news. For 2021, dividend rates will remain above 5%. Returns for the Pag-IBIG Regular Savings is recommended to be at 5.16% per annum, and the Modified Pag-IBIG 2 Savings to be at 5.66% per annum. Considering the challenges caused by the pandemic, Pag-IBIG’s dividend rates are still much higher than other savings accounts and financial products in the market today,” sabi niya.
Ayon kay Moti, pinanatili ng Pag-IBIG Fund ang Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) na 15% noong 2021, na mas mataas sa 10% threshold na itinakda ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) para sa industriya ng pagbabangko. Idinagdag niya na habang ang ahensiya ay hindi kinokontrol ng BSP, ang Pag-IBIG ay boluntaryong nagpapanatili ng mataas na CAR upang matugunan ang kasalukuyang mga hamon sa ekonomiya, upang maprotektahan ang mga pondo ng mga miyembro nito, at upang mapanatili ang katatagan ng pananalapi ng ahensya.
“The last two years under a pandemic have not been easy, but Pag-IBIG still managed to claim a number of victories. For 2021, I’m proud to say that we are back to breaking records and attaining the ‘highest evers’ in our numbers. And, we have our members to thank for it. Because by fulfilling their obligations despite the hardships and by increasing their savings in Pag-IBIG, they are helping to keep the Fund healthy and resistant against a downward trend. And with a stable Pag-IBIG Fund, more members are served and our programs remain responsive to their needs. With Pag-IBIG back to its record-breaking form, I’m excited to see what 2022 will bring,” saad ni Moti.
