6.7% GDP GROWTH SA PINAS

WORLD-BANK

NANATILI ang 6.7 percent economic growth forecast ng World Bank para sa Filipinas sa 2018 at 2019 sa kabila ng tumataas na ‘global uncertainty’.

“The government’s ability to carry out its investment spending agenda will determine if the Philippines can achieve its growth target of 6.5-7.5 percent over the medium term,” wika ni World Bank lead economist for the Philippines Birgit Hansl.

“In addition, higher private investment levels will be critical to sustain the economy’s growth momentum as capacity constraints become more binding,” sabi pa niya.

Ayon sa Washington-based lender, ang exports, isang pangunahing growth driver, ay magi­ging ‘moderate’ kung saan ang global growth ay inaasahang babagal sa mga darating na taon.

Idinagdag pa ng World Bank na ang kawalang katiyakan sa global growth ay tumaas dahil sa lumilitaw na trade and policy shocks mula sa major economies.
