Economic Outlook
Stronger Domestic Demand To Steer The Economy Ahead The Philippines is on track to sustain its growth trajectory in 2017, in our view. This is on the back of a strong fixed capital spending as well as a steady household consumption. Overall, we envisage the Philippines’ real GDP to expand by 6.8% in 2017, strengthening from an estimate of +6.6% in 2016. Economist:  Rizki Fajar  | +6221 2970 7065
