Inosante, <\/b><span class=\"s2\"><i>Reporter<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY grew at a marginally quicker rate in the second quarter, propelled by robust agricultural output and an increase in consumption, the statistics agency reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Preliminary figures published by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) indicated that the Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) increased by an annual 5.5% in the April-to-June timeframe, up from 5.4% in the initial quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\">This also aligned with the 5.5% median expectation in a <i>BusinessWorld<\/i> survey, and the lower threshold of the government\u2019s 5.5% to 6.5% growth objective for this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><a title=\"Philippines\u2019 Quarterly Gross Domestic Product Performance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/142608056@N02\/54704651492\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><\/a>Nevertheless, this performance was slower than the 6.5% growth observed in the second quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">On a seasonally adjusted quarter-on-quarter basis, the nation&#8217;s GDP ascended by 1.5%, an improvement from 1.3% a year prior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201cThe Philippine economy demonstrates resilience and stability, even amidst persistent global challenges that introduce uncertainty on multiple fronts,\u201d Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev) Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan remarked during a briefing on Thursday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">\u201cWith this performance, we maintain our standing among the fastest-expanding economies in emerging Asia,\u201d he added, noting that the Philippines trails only Vietnam (8%) and is ahead of China (5.2%) and Indonesia (5.1%). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">While the Philippines may lag behind India&#8217;s anticipated 6.5% growth, Mr. Balisacan mentioned it is still projected to surpass Malaysia\u2019s forecasted 4.3% GDP increase and Thailand\u2019s 2.4%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For the first half, GDP growth averaged 5.4%, slower than the 6.2% from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Mr. Balisacan stated that GDP must rise by 5.6% for the remainder of the year to meet the lower end of the yearly target.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI believe we can perform better in the second half. (I am) confident that inflation has significantly decreased and the recent cuts in policy rates are starting to have an effect,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">Inflation decelerated to a near six-year low of 0.9% in July as utility and food costs continued to decline. For the first seven months of the year, inflation averaged 1.7%, slightly <\/span>higher than the central bank\u2019s 1.6% prediction for 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has lowered benchmark interest rates by a total of 125 basis points <\/span><span class=\"s4\">since it began its easing cycle in August of the previous year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">To achieve the upper end of the target, the DEPDev chief asserted the economy must expand by 7.5% in the July-to-December timeframe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cNaturally, 7.5% is ambitious, but it\u2019s not unattainable. I believe that if we see ongoing improvement in consumer and domestic investor confidence, (we can expect) increased growth in consumption, investment, and services,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">PSA data revealed that household final consumption, which represents over 70% of the economy, surged by 5.5% in the April-to-June period. This was quicker than the 4.8% in the second quarter of 2024 but slower than 5.3% in the first quarter. It marked the fastest growth since the 8.1% increase in the first quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cOur strategic, ongoing, and coordinated initiatives to manage inflation and protect purchasing power are producing results. Significantly, rice prices, a significant concern for households, have been consistently declining in recent <span class=\"s3\">months,\u201d Mr. Balisacan remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The election-related prohibition on public works impacted government final consumption spending, which rose by 8.7% in the second quarter compared to 18.7% in the first quarter and 11.9% a year prior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">National Statistician Claire Dennis S. Mapa attributed this slowdown to public construction, which shrank by 8% in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">The 45-day election ban on public works commenced on March 28 and concluded with the May 12 elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cWe anticipate maintaining that momentum in public spending. In the second half of the year, improvements in construction and public project expenditures should be evident as this is where we experienced a slight deceleration, but that was anticipated due to the election ban,\u201d Mr. Balisacan stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>TARIFF UNCERTAINTY<br \/>\n<\/b>Uncertainty surrounding US tariffs has begun to impact the Philippine economy, as growth in exports, industry, and investment declined in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Total export growth climbed by 4.4% in the April-to-June interval, improving from 3.9% a year prior but slowing from the 7.1% growth witnessed in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Merchandise exports also increased by 13.6% in the second quarter, spurred by semiconductors, as US companies began front-loading before <span class=\"s6\">the higher tariffs came into effect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">The US imposed a 19% tariff on Philippine goods, effective August 7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI expect the domestic economy to stabilize somewhat with all this tariff uncertainty, although it remains present, but I believe that this should be the conclusion of that series of announcements. We hope there will be no further disturbances in expectations regarding trade <span class=\"s3\">uncertainty,\u201d Mr. Balisacan commented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Meanwhile, service exports contracted by 4.2% in the second quarter, reversing the 6.3% growth in the preceding quarter and 7.6% a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIt\u2019s likely reflecting the overall condition of the global economy. Recently, we observed deceleration and uncertainty in the trade sector, including trade and services,\u201d Mr. Balisacan stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">Conversely, imports of goods and services slowed to 2.9% in the second quarter, down from 5.3% in the same period last year and 10.3% in the first quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Gross capital formation, the investment segment of the economy, increased by 0.6% in the second quarter, a deceleration from the 11.5% growth seen a year prior and 4.8% growth during the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">\u201cI anticipate a revival of investment in the second quarter. The prohibition on the election is over, so we should proceed, which should be a positive aspect. The domestic investment environment is improving, as indicated by the ongoing decline in interest rates,\u201d Mr. Balisacan remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>AGRICULTURE<br \/>\n<\/b>On the supply front, agricultural output grew by 7% in the second quarter, the fastest rate in nearly 14 years, since the 8.3% recorded in the second quarter of 2011.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Mr. Balisacan attributed the strong recovery in farm production to palay and corn, which increased by 14.2% and 29.8%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The services sector, which contributed the most among major industries, expanded by 6.92% in the second quarter, quicker than 6.87% observed the previous year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">The industrial sector grew by 2.1% in the second quarter, slowing from 7.9% a year ago and 4.6% in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">\u201cIndustry growth eased to 2.1%, influenced by declines in production for coke and refined petroleum products (-12.2%), chemical products (-6.6%), and computer and electronics (-2.5%),\u201d Mr. Balisacan stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Food manufacturing advanced by 9.3%, marginally below the 10.8% in the preceding quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">The PSA indicated that key contributors to the second-quarter growth included wholesale and retail trade, the repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles (5.8%), and compulsory social security (12.8%)&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8220;&#8220;html<br \/>\n<span> and financial and insurance endeavors (5.6%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Gross national income registered an annual 8.2% increase in the second quarter, marginally less than the 8.1% growth observed a year prior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">Net primary income surged by 38.8% in the second quarter, surpassing the 25.8% during the same timeframe in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>GROWTH PROSPECTS<br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"s3\">Capital Economics Senior Asia Economist Gareth Leather stated <\/span><span class=\"s5\">in a commentary that they anticipate \u201csteady\u201d growth for the remainder of the year as domestic expenditure will be buoyed by declining inflation and diminished interest rates. They project Philippine GDP growth to average 5.5% for the entire year, aligning with the <\/span>lower range of the government\u2019s target.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">However, the \u201cfragile\u201d external scenario presents threats to the forecast, Mr. Leather noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cTrump tariffs and weakened global demand indicate export growth is likely to decelerate further in the upcoming months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">ANZ Research remarked that external challenges would similarly impact private investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s7\">\u201cPrivate investment continues to be hindered by low productivity growth and decelerating global progress\u2026 Given the lackluster outlook for external demand, private investment is poised to remain stagnant in the short term. <\/span><span class=\"s8\">Nonetheless, the robust increase in capital goods imports in June suggests a rise in government capital expenditure, <\/span><span class=\"s9\">which may help partially counterbalance the frailty in private gross fixed capital formation,\u201d it articulated in a report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">Although inflation has subsided, private consumption will persistently be hindered by subdued wages, ANZ Research added. \u201cOverall, we project growth to taper to 5.1% in 2025.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s5\">\u201cWe anticipate private investment spending will be more restrained, as companies turn more cautious due to increasing global trade policy uncertainties and an increasingly difficult operating environment. Similarly, we foresee goods export growth decelerating because of the effect of US tariffs, but recognize rising downside threats particularly stemming from sector-specific tariffs on semiconductors in the forthcoming quarters,\u201d Nomura Global Markets Research commented in a distinct note.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">It predicts the economy will expand by 5.3% for the full year. \u201cOur forecast suggests GDP growth will decrease to 5.2% year on year in the second half from 5.4% in the first half, even as we foresee a rebound in public investment expenditures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">Jonathan L. Ravelas, senior advisor at Reyes Tacandong &amp; Co., mentioned that global trade uncertainty and supply chain risks represent a \u201cred flag\u201d for enduring growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s4\">\u201cWe\u2019re on the right path, but not cruising,\u201d Mr. Ravelas stated. \u201cStakeholders should intensify efforts towards consumer confidence, unlock private investments, and capitalize on [the agriculture sector\u2019s] momentum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cThe second half is crucial \u2014 it\u2019s time to advance, not hesitate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bworldonline.com\/top-stories\/2025\/08\/08\/690259\/phl-economy-expands-5-5-in-q2\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;`html By Aubrey Rose A.
