Looking forward!

Welcome to the new year! Thankfully, we have gains to build on and much to look forward to for the Philippines in 2025 and beyond.

Just a few days ago, the London-based Center for Economics and Business Research opined that the Philippines is projected to be the world's 23rd largest economy by 2039 (from 33rd in 2024). Inflation has finally slowed down to a manageable level, and our economic growth in 2024 is among the highest in Asia. Such studied positive outlook aligns with our AmBisyon Natin 2040 of a Philippines that is a "prosperous, predominantly middle-class society where no one is poor." We're on an "OK" track, but we need to be fast, focused and forward-looking to truly flourish.
