THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY will likely undershoot the target this year amid spending cuts and weak investor sentiment due to the graft scandal, increasing the possibility of further easing this month, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. said.
Speaking to reporters at the BSP head office in Manila, Mr. Remolona said gross domestic product (GDP) growth could settle between 4% and 5% by yearend, well-below the government’s 5.5-6.5% goal.
