The Philippines Economic Update (PEU) released today finds that unlocking the potential of the country's business sector,particularly that of its small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs),will help the Philippines maintain its strong growth trajectory. The PEU forecasts that gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 5.3 percent in 2025,down just 0.3 percentage points compared to the average for 2023-2024. This is thanks to a robust job market,stable and low inflation,and supportive fiscal and monetary policies,which are helping offset strong headwinds caused by increasing trade barriers and greater financial market volatility.
