Further, in order to enhance the effect of reducing CT, the concentration of terminal carboxyl groups in the polymer after melt polycondensation used for solid phase polymerization is preferably in the range of 10 to 30 eq / ton. A range of 25 eq / ton is particularly preferred. If the concentration of the terminal carboxyl group is less than the above range, the solid phase polymerizability may be poor and it may take a long time to increase the intrinsic viscosity. In that case, the effect of reducing oligomers such as CT may be small.
