Philippine Economic Latest News and Predictions
l The Philippines last quarter of 2013 capped its strongest two years of growth since the 1950s with Gross domestic
product rising at 7.2 percent. - Philippine Statistics Authority.
l “Despite the devastation wrought by super-typhoon Haiyan, the Philippines is expected to grow at above 6 percent in
2014. Post-crisis reconstruction, with a price tag of $8.17 billion, will further buoy an already booming economy.
By most estimates, inflation is expected to stay at around 2-3 percent, while the Philippine Central Bank (BSP) will
most likely maintain its current interest rates for much of 2014. This means a steady upward trend in consumption,
real estate, and domestic investments.” - The World Post.
l The number of investments approved by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) in 2013 went up by 16.6
percent to 673 projects from 577 in 2012 while employment generation jumped 14.84 percent despite an
11.48 percent slump in the value of these investments, which are measured in terms of their project cost.
- Manila Bulletin, January 29, 2014.
l The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) was off to a food start this year having registered P20.585 billion
or 250.34 percent higher than January 2013 approved investments of P5.875 billion. - Bernie Magkilat,
Manila Bulletin, February 6, 2014.
