Philippine GDP growth is projected to slow to 5.7% in Q3 2024 due to weak consumption and spending.

Analysts project that the Philippine economy will see a slowdown in GDP growth to 5.7% in the third quarter of 2024, down from 6.3% in Q2. This decline is attributed to weak private consumption and subdued government spending, which may hinder achieving the year-end growth target of 6.0-7.0%. Inflation is expected to average 2% in October, influenced by rising food prices but offset by lower costs for rice and electricity. Preliminary GDP data will be released on November 7.
