The paper shows the following:
•    Both bonds and non-bond capital inflows are expansionary to output and credit growth in the Philippines;
•    For bond inflows, a positive impact was found for the short term while no effect was evident for the long term;
•    For non-bond inflows, the short-term impact on output and credit was significantly greater, but this was followed in the medium term by a negative impact on output.
