Feasibility of Using Land Tax Declarations to Secure Bank Loans. Technical Report

摘要

This feasibility study grew out of the observation of the then Socio-economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri of a large number of rural landowners and farmers who have no formal titles to their lands, except perhaps a tax declaration. Without formal titles to their property, rural landowners and farmers will have limited access to bank credit, thereby crimping their ability to boost rural economic activity and farm production.
