Fifty Years A Laggard
• In 1960, average income in RP was twice
that of Thailand; now it is the reverse
• Other East Asian economies’ GDP grew
annually at 3.6-6.0%; RP only grew 1.4%
• Per capita GDP has grown 19 times in China,
8 times in Thailand, 6 times in Malaysia &
Indonesia, but only 2 times in RP
• At current rates of per capita income
growth, WB estimates it would take RP >200
years to reach the average per capita GDP
of the OECD (developed) countries
Top Heavy Growth
Bottom-Heavy Needs
 Narrow: Growth is propelled primarily
by a few leading sectors and geographic areas
 Shallow: Weak linkages to rest of
economy – e.g., low domestic valueadded exports
 Hollow: Jobless growth; povertyincreasing growth
Top-Heavy Growth,
Bottom-Heavy Needs
 Poverty incidence rose from 30% in 2003
to 33% in 2006, and 37% in 2009 (NSCB)
 Real per capita income fell 10%
nationally, and fell in 50 provinces
between 2003 and 2006 (NSCB)
 Basic education enrollment rates
dropped in 75% of provinces between
2002 & 2004 (PHDR 2009)
 Wide disparities in life expectancy across
provinces: Low - 53.4 (Tawi-tawi); High 74.6 (La Union) (PHDR 2009)
Wanted:
Inclusive Growth
a.k.a. Broad-Based Growth:
• Sectorally
• Geographically
• Temporally
Assessing Economic Performance:
The “PITIK Test”
The Essential Yardsticks (P-T-K):
•Price Stability (Presyo)
•Jobs (Trabaho)
•Incomes (Kita)
The Economy Last Year &
Now: Good News & Bad News
 Prices: Rose faster than in 2009, but
more slowly than projected; now
ticking up again
 Jobs: Jobs caught up with labor
force growth – but job quality
remains a challenge
 Incomes/Output: Strong Overall
―Manufacturing surged
―Services saw robust growth
―But agriculture declined

The Economy Last Year &
Now: Good News & Bad News
 Investment and Exports: strong
rebound, even with dropping
foreign investment inflows
 Balance of Payments: favorable last
year; has now turned negative
 Peso: appreciating with weak dollar
and amid “currency war”
 Net Income Inflows: slows to single
digit growth; now facing new threats
 Fiscal Deficit: too big for comfort

How do recent economic trends
translate to human welfare
and poverty of Filipinos?
The Economy in Human Terms
• Poverty rose from 24.9% (2003) to 26.5%
(2009) [Under old definition: 30% (‘03) to
33% (‘06) to 37% (‘09)]
• No. of poor Filipinos up by 970,000, or
185,000 families between 2006 and 2009
(Poverty line: P7,017/month per family of 5)
• Net elementary school participation rate
down from 97% in 2001 to 85% in 2008
• Net high schol participation rate down
from 66% to 62%
• Malnutrition incidence went up in most
provinces
Ateneo Center for Economic
Research and Development
Self Rated Poverty:
49% of Filipinos feel poor (Q4-2010)
Lowest since Cory Aquino
– but is it really?
Hunger: Roller Coaster
SWS Q1-’10 Puzzle: Self-Rated
Poverty Down But Hunger Up
• Of the 4 million households reporting
hunger in March 2010, only 2.6 million
rated themselves as Poor.
A significant 1.4 million who suffered
from hunger did not consider
themselves to be Poor.
• Living standards had dropped so low
that standard of “poorness” has
dropped (misery loves company)
Outlook & Imperatives
Why 2011 Should
Be Better
 Recovery from El Niño
 Resurgence in investment
(especially domestic)
 Proven “immunity” to global
slowdown
 Remittances continue growth
 “Rebalancing” of Asian growth
toward more internal, intraregional demand
Why 2011 Should
Be Worse
 Possible double-dip recession (Wshaped recovery) in the West?
 European economies under threat
 Middle East unrest and new inflation
pressures
 Peso appreciation (mixed effect)
 Japan earthquake/tsunami and
nuclear disaster
 Medium Term: Heavy debt burden
and continued fiscal pressures
Where is the Peso Going?
Euro
Baht
Sing$
Peso
Rupiah
Achieving Inclusive Growth:
Where To Push
Revenues: Restore tax effort to 17%;
mostly from collection/compliance
boost; sin taxes, trim excess tax perks
 Infrastructure: Massive catch-up
program needed; needs above revenue
boost &/or better BOT rules
 Investment: Now exceeded by savings;
confidence boost needed
 Democratize Growth: Massive SME boost,
asset reform, competition policy (esp.
with PLDT-Digitel merger)
Sectors to Watch,
Sectors to Push
Agriculture &
Agribusiness
 End of El Niño droughts
 Rebound from 4-quarter decline
 Ongoing budget reforms promise
positive results
 DA to “steer” while LGUs “row”
 Remittance-fueled consumer food
demand may taper in short term due
to external developments
Tourism
& Allied Industries
 Focused investments under Tourism
Act of 2009 underway
 Pocket open-skies policy to lower
costs, hike tourist arrivals
 Improved peace prospects in
Mindanao; tourism a major thrust in
Mindanao 2020 Plan
 “Appreciation lag” of Peso vs.
neighboring currencies can make PH
relatively more attractive
Business Process
Outsourcing
 Sustained demand growth
projected for long term
 Indian firms now moving into
Philippines
 Need to address dwindling skilled
recruitable personnel
 Important driver of real property
development sector
Construction
 Private construction is on a rebound
(19.1% growth in 2010)
 Massive infrastructure push (GAA &
PPPs) is imperative & inevitable
 Revenue performance needs clear
improvement; PPP policy environment
needs constant improvement
 Huge unmet demand in low to
medium-cost housing
Manufacturing
 Electronics: Continued dominance
 Food & Beverages: Rising average
incomes; elastic demand for
processed food  steady medium
to long-term growth
 Design-based manufactures:
Innate competitiveness (e.g.
Cobonpue, Lhuillier)
Pharmaceuticals
 Projected annual PH market
growth rate to 2015: 6.9% (BMI)
 Drivers:
− Cheaper Medicines Act (Elastic
demand leads to higher gross sales)
− Mergers/industry consolidation
(Greater stability)
− Universal PhilHealth coverage by
2015 (Wider market)
Economic Outlook: 2011
• Presyo:
➔ Inflation projected to inch
upward to 5-6%
• Trabaho:
➔ Marginal improvement at 78% unemployment
• Kita:
➔ Consensus GDP growth
projection: 5-6%
Long Term Outlook:
Building on Inherent Strengths
• Exceptionally rich natural & human
resources
• Strategic geography (transshipment,
shipbuilding/repair, tourism)
• Favorable global, regional trends
(e.g. aging, medical tourism,
outsourcing)
• Resilient, adaptable people, in high
demand worldwide
 Completing the picture: Good
Governance is key!
Checklist For Good
Governance
 Quality Appointments to Cabinet,
revenue and regulatory agencies
 Zero Tolerance for Corruption: an
unequivocal policy
 Decentralized Governance where NG
“steers,” LGUs “row”
 Participatory Mechanisms: bring people
to the gov’t & gov’t to the people
 Streamline Government Processes to
reduce cost of doing business

Plea
