Country Overview
AS OF 13 Jan 2025- The Philippines is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, expected to grow by an annual rate of 6.2% in 2025 and 2026. This growth is underpinned by a resurgence in capital formation, increased infrastructure spending, and robust consumer spending.
- A 75-basis-point rate cut to 5.00% is projected by end 2025, given the steady improvement in the inflation rate, which is expected to decline to 3% in 2025 due to lower retail prices.
- The current account deficit is expected to narrow, driven by a lower fiscal deficit as the government targets a reduced debt-to-GDP ratio in the coming years.
