ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (as of Second Quarter

2007)

 

Economic output is estimated to have grown by 6.6% (IDEA) in the first half of the year, 1 percentage point higher than the first-half outcome in 2006. Consequently, the government and various private entities have upgraded their GDP projections, indicating strong expectations of a solid finish in 2007 and heightened optimism in the Philippine economy. The government, for example, has raised its GDP growth forecast to 6.1-6.8% from 5.8-6.6%.

 

IDEA’s estimates show that economic output is poised to grow at around 6.4% for 2007 and 2008. On the production side, the largest contribution to growth will come from the Services sector, which is projected to grow at 9.0% this year and the following year. This sector, in turn, is pulled up by good prospects in the Finance, Trade, and Transport, Storage and Communication sectors.

 

On the demand side, personal consumption demand will continue to push growth forward. Government expenditures are also expected to increase with the approval of the P1.1T budget and the wage increase of government employees.

 

Capital formation, however, seems to be the weak link in the output demand equation. Although the trend has improved from the registered 8.8% decline in 2005 to 2.7% growth in 2006, the share of capital formation to GDP has decreased from 18% in 2005 to 17% in 2006. Moreover, a concern is raised on the sustainability of public construction given the unmet revenue targets and the goal of a balanced budget by 2008.

 

In sum, although the progress of the economy is slower than that of most other economies in the region, the sustained and improving picture of overall economic activity is notable considering the observed boom-and-bust behavior of the economy in the past. A sustained decent growth will hopefully facilitate the trickling down of economic gains to the micro-level. Analysis of figures at the household level, however, will have to wait until the release of the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey.

 

All in all, there is no reason for the government to relax and take refuge in the comforting economic figures and the continuously increasing inflow of remittances. It remains to be seen if the government can deliver on its promises of infrastructure and a balanced budget by 2008. The good economic prospect is, as always, conditional on the events that will transpire in the next semester of the year.
