菲律宾财政部长着眼于中国投资 否认与美国关系紧张

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte will seek billions of dollars in infrastructure investments from China in the coming months as the country seeks to alter its relationship with Beijing, Philippines Finance Minister Carlos Dominguez said on Saturday.

华盛顿（路透社）——菲律宾总统未来几个月将寻求从中国获得数十亿美元的基建投资，致力于改变和中国的关系，菲律宾财政部长周六如是说。

In an interview with Reuters, Dominguez dismissed concerns over the Philippines' investment climate raised by Duterte's blunt anti-U.S. statements and a war on drug cartels that has killed thousands.

菲律宾总统愚钝的反美言论和导致数千人死亡的毒品战争引发人们对菲律宾投资环境的担忧，该部长在接受路透社采访时认为没有必要为此感到担忧。

He described Duterte's recent comments telling U.S. President Barack Obama to "go to hell," as a "bump in the road" in a century-long relationship with the United States that maintains deep business and family ties.

他说杜特尔特叫美国总统奥巴马“去死”，这可以看成是两国长达一个世纪之久关系中的一个“小状况”，两国依然保持着深刻的商业和家庭纽带关系。

"There are headlines and there are fundamentals. The fundamentals of the Philippines are rock solid," Dominguez said on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings here.

“有新闻头条，也有基本面。菲律宾的基本面是非常牢固的，”他在国际货币基金组织和世界银行的非正式会议期间如是说。

With strong economic growth estimated by the IMF at 6.4 percent in 2016 and 6.7 percent in 2017, more foreign exchange reserves than foreign debt, strong banks and a young, relatively well-educated population, Dominguez said the Philippines was in a "golden moment" for attracting foreign direct investment.

国际货币基金组织对2016年菲律宾的预测是6.4%的强劲经济增长，2017年则是6.7%，外汇储备超过外债，资金雄厚的银行，年轻且相对受过良好教育的人口，所以他认为菲律宾正处于吸引外国直接投资的“黄金期”。

But Standard and Poor's said last month that the Philippines was unlikely to get a rating upgrade in the next two years because of Duterte's unpredictability and uncertainty over his domestic and foreign policies.

但是标准普尔上个月说菲律宾未来两年不太可能获得评级提升，因为杜特尔特在国内和外交政策方面的不可预测性和不确定性。
