Economic Outlook




Recovering from a high base effect in 1H due to the May 2016 election, we expect the Philippines’ economy to grow by a faster pace of 6.4% YoY in 2H17, from +6.2% estimated for 1H. A bounce-back in domestic demand is envisaged for 2H, supported by a faster disbursement of a bigger state budget for social and infrastructure projects spending as well as resilient consumer spending on the back of a sustained increase in overseas foreign worker remittances.
