The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) forecasts that the Philippines' economic growth will exceed 4% in the fourth quarter, driven primarily by a rebound in infrastructure projects.
The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) projects that the Philippines’ economy will grow by more than 4% in the fourth quarter of the year, signaling a positive turnaround largely fueled by the recovery and ramp-up of infrastructure spending. This renewed infrastructure activity is expected to boost economic output and contribute to sustained growth momentum as the country continues its post-pandemic recovery phase. UA&P’s forecast reflects optimism about the government’s intensified focus on infrastructure development, which has a significant multiplier effect on various economic sectors, including construction, transportation, and employment. This growth trajectory is critical for the Philippines, considering the vital role the economy plays in supporting overseas Filipino workers and managing remittance inflows that are essential to household incomes and economic stability. The infrastructure rebound is anticipated to complement other economic drivers such as consumer spending and export performance, further enhancing the growth prospects for the remainder of the year.
