Details
The Philippines which occupies a strategic geographical location, acting as a potential gateway for investors to the Asian market, is currently one of the most dynamic economies in the East Asia region. Growth has been robust in the past five years, registering an average 6.2 percent from 2010-2015, significantly higher than average 4.5 percent annual growth in 2000-2009.
The new administration has reassured businesses and investors by continuing existing macroeconomic policies while reforming the tax collection system.
In 2017, the economy is expected to remain vigorous with household consumption, which should continue to be the main driver. Investment is still on the right path following the new government’s plan to dedicate 5% of its federal budget allocation to infrastructure development through public/private partnership.
