BusinessWorld E-paper
January 27, 2025
PHILIPPINE economic growth was expected to have quickened in the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by strong consumer spending during the holiday season, although the full-year print likely fell short of the government target, a BusinessWorld poll showed.
Gross domestic product (GDP) in the October-to-December period likely grew by 5.8% from a year earlier, accelerating from the 5.2% growth in the third quarter, according to the median forecast of a BusinessWorld poll of 18 economists and analysts last week.
