Philippines: Economic Snapshot 2018
27 Jun 2018

Underpinned by its robust services sector, the country is seeing rising investment in manufacturing, strong remittance inflows from overseas workers and an infrastructure spending surge under the Build, Build, Build development programme of President Rodrigo Duterte. Sound fiscal and monetary policy-making should help prevent the economy from overheating, even as socio-economic challenges, income inequality and inflation pose continued obstacles to inclusive growth.
