Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Philippines
Description
We lowered our GDP growth forecast in the Philippines to 5.4% y/y in 2026, down from 5.6%, due to persistent headwinds. Our 2025 growth estimate remain at 4.9% y/y. Activity this year will be supported by the 2025 rate cuts and lower-than-expected inflation driving up household consumption. However, unexpected policy shifts, softer global demand, and ongoing geopolitical tensions will continue to pose significant downside risks.
