Philippines - Manufacturing

After better-than-expected growth in Q3, activity likely slowed in Q4, mainly due to a tougher base effect. Underlying momentum appeared robust, amid looser restrictions and fewer Covid-19 cases. The manufacturing PMI averaged higher, suggesting a pickup in growth of industry, while solid expansions in retail sales and remittances through November suggest healthy private spending. In Q1, activity is likely slowing further. Covid-19 cases have skyrocketed due to Omicron, and restrictions have been tightened as a result. Moreover, Typhoon Rai hit in December, causing significant economic damage and raising inflationary risks, which may dent spending early this year. In politics, the president recently signed a law liberalizing the retail sector. Meanwhile, Marcos Jr., son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, has emerged as the frontrunner in this year’s presidential election.
