Philippines 3Q GDP grows an impressive 7.1%

Data shows strong growth momentum, says BBVA.

"Third quarter GDP for the Philippines came in well above expectations at 7.1% y/y (consensus: 5.4% y/y), up from 5.9% y/y in the second quarter, as government spending and investment boosted growth," BBVA added.

Citing official data, BBVA said that "sequentially, growth accelerated to 1.3% q/q sa from 0.2% q/q sa. Momentum is expected to remain strong in the Philippines after a total of 100bps in interest rate cuts since the start of 2012 (the most recent 25bps cut in October brought the policy rate down to its current 3.5%) and expectations for the continuation of proactive government spending in support of the economy."

"The outturn is yet another sign of the outperformance of ASEAN economies, on strong domestic demand and intra-regional trade," BBVA said further.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
