Philippines

Economic Highlights




The Philippine’s real GDP growth strengthened to 6.4% y-o-y in 2Q 2014, from a revised +5.6% recorded in
the 1Q and compared with +6.3% in 4Q 2013, on the back of a resurgence in manufacturing activities and exports. Despite the 2Q GDP figures coming in above the consensus median estimate of +6.1%, it was, however, below our estimate of +6.9%. Nonetheless, we are retaining our full-year GDP projection at 6.5% for 2014 and expect growth to pick-up to +7.1% in 2015.
