PORT PERFORMANCE
CY 2006
Driven by the vibrant performances of the Manufacturing,
Trade and Finance and the resurgence of Agriculture, Fishery and
Forestry in the first quarter, the rebound of Agriculture, Fishery
and Forestry and the sustained momentum of Manufacturing in
the second quarter, the steady performance of Trade and
Manufacturing in the third and fourth quarters, aided by the
resurgence of Trade, Transportation, Communication and
Storage (TCS) and Private Services in the fourth quarter, the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) sustained its growth upturn and
accelerated to 5.4 percent in 2006, proof that the Philippine
Economy was still right on track. Latest economic data from the
reports of government agencies concerned showed that this full
year growth of 5.4 percent is within NEDA’s forecast band of 5.3
to 5.6 percent, albeit 1 percentage point below the low-end of the
official growth estimates of 5.5 percent. Reports also stated that
the full-year economic growth was propped up by the recovery in
agriculture in the first three quarters and the healthy performance
of the services sectors all through the four quarters.
On the demand side, the report continued, growth was led
primarily by the strong private consumption, the robust growth of
exports and government spending which was the result of fiscal
pump priming in the fourth quarter.
On the expenditure side, consumer spending expanded in
the fourth quarter of 2006 fueled by the hike in the remittances of
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). This continued increase in
the Net Factor Income from Abroad (NFIA) coming from our
overseas Filipinos pushed the Gross National Product (GNP) to a
6.2 percent growth at the end of 2006.
The healthy performance of the ever resilient Services
Sector which again contributed the most to the total GDP this year
continued to boost the economy, although pacing slower once
more. This performance slowdown was continuously mirrored in
the level of business activities in the Philippine ports, a
component of the water transport sub-sector under the Services
Sector, as port indicators; i.e., cargo throughput, container
throughput, passenger traffic and ship traffic, showed decelerated
growth at the end of the twelve-month period in 2006.
