2026 Economic Underperformer.

Written By Yovani Santana

New reports from ANZ Research and Moody’s Analytics have downgraded the Philippines' growth outlook for 2026. Analysts now project GDP growth to fall between 4.7% and 4.9%, missing the government's target of 6.0%. The slowdown is being attributed to a slump in public infrastructure spending and the ripple effects of the oil crisis on household confidence. Despite these headwinds, private investment in the electronics and BPO sectors remains a bright spot, with exports showing resilience in the first quarter of the year.
