IMPROVED ECONOMIC SOCIETY: NATIONAL LEVEL

The Philippines' economy is considered as one of the most dynamic economies in East Asia and the Pacific. In 2019, GDP growth rate decreased but remained high, reaching 5.9% according to IMF estimates. This slowdown is mainly due to a deceleration in investment growth and a weak external environment. According to the updated IMF forecasts from 14th April 2020, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, GDP growth is expected to fall to 0.6% in 2020 and pick up to 7.6% in 2021, subject to the post-pandemic global economic recovery.

In recent years, the Philippine economy has made progress in delivering inclusive growth, evidenced by a decline in poverty rates and its Gini coefficient. Poverty declined from 23.3% in 2015 to 16.6% in 2018 while the Gini coefficient declined from 44.9 to 42.7 over the same period. The ongoing increasing trend in real wages, which is expected to have a positive impact on household incomes—particularly those from the lower income groups—will be hampered by the impact of the COVID-19, with negative consequences also for poverty reduction in the Philippines.
