Growth goals in the Philippines

Business leaders in the Philippines looking to emerge from the economic disruptions in recent years may consider an “era thinking” strategy—that is, take the upheavals head-on with an eye toward innovation. According to partners Jon Canto and Kristine Romano and colleagues, the Philippines could see GDP growth of approximately 5 percent this year, a notable rebound after a record 10 percent contraction in 2020.

The Philippines ended 2022 with one of the fastest growth rates of countries in the region.
