Philippines as Globalized Country
 Next World Trade

'bridge' to global, national
goals: PH envoy
 Philippines is world's second
top globalization destination:
index
MANILA - The incoming World Trade
Organization's director general should be able to bridge
interests of all members despite varying levels of
development to ensure a global system that benefits
national goals of member countries, Philippine
Ambassador to the WTO Manuel Teehankee told ANC.
MANILA - The Philippines is the second top
globalization destination in the world this year, according
to global strategic advisory firm Tholons. The 2018
Services Globalization Index saw the Philippines rising to
the second spot of the "Top 50 Digital Nations" after
placing third last year. India continues to dominate the list
while Brazil follows the Philippines at third place. Other
countries in the top 10 are the United States, Mexico,
Canada, Russia, Vietnam, Colombia, and South Africa.
"Most of the services will get commoditized for the biggest
leaders in services globalization like US, UK, Canada,
Europe, India, Philippines, East Europe, and Latin
America," the index report stated. Business process
outsourcing is an economic lifeline in the Philippines with
over 1.15 million Filipinos working in the industry. The
industry, along with remittances from overseas workers,
remains one of the top 2 earners of foreign exchange for
the Philippines.
SUPER CITIES
Six cities from the Philippines, meanwhile, made it
to the "Top 100 Super Cities," with Manila placing second
to Bengaluru in India. The Philippine capital, which ranked
fourth in 2017, is followed by the Indian city of Mumbai,
which ranked third. The rest of the Philippine cities
included in the list all saw an improvement in their
respective rankings. Close to the top 10 is Cebu City, which
ranked 11th from 12th last year, while President Rodrigo
Duterte's hometown Davao City went 10 notches higher to
the 75th spot from 85th last year. Santa Rosa City in
Laguna rose to the 87th spot from 100th last year while
Bacolod City climbed to the 89th spot from 97th in 2017.
The Visayan city of Iloilo, meanwhile, is a newcomer to the
list, landing at the 92nd spot. The index evaluates and

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (15 September 2020) — The
Philippine economy is forecast to contract by 7.3% in 2020
amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic before
growth returns to 6.5% in 2021, according to a new report
from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) released today.
The Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2020 Update projects
a deeper decline in the Philippines’ economy than ADB’s June
forecast of 3.8% contraction, with subdued private
consumption and investment expected for the rest of the
year and uncertainties about the global economic recovery.
The economy is expected to rebound in 2021 as the outbreak
is contained, the economy is further opened, and more
government stimulus measures are implemented. Downside
risks next year include a slower than expected global
recovery that could weigh heavily on trade, investment, and
overseas Filipino worker remittances.
“We believe the worst is now over and that the contraction in
GDP bottomed out in May or June this year. The package of
measures the government rolled out such as income support
to families, relief for small businesses, and support to
agriculture in the second quarter all helped the economy to
bottom out. We expect the recovery to be slow and fragile
for the rest of this year, and growth to accelerate in 2021 on
the back of additional fiscal support and an accommodative
monetary policy stance,” said ADB Country Director for the
Philippines Kelly Bird.
“ADB has thrown its full support to the government’s COVID-
19 response, delivering a combination of loans and grants to
help finance measures aimed at lessening the pandemic’s
impact on lives and livelihoods,” he said.
ADB has so far provided about $2.3 billion in loans and grants
to support the government’s urgent COVID-19 response,
including social protection and livelihood support to help
mitigate the impacts on livelihoods and employment and
assistance to further scale up the government’s health
response against the pandemic.
Following a contraction of 9.0% in the first half of 2020, a
slow economic recovery is expected to start in the second
half of 2020, as the government’s fiscal response gains
traction and household consumption slowly picks up on a job
rebound. Following the relaxation of community quarantines
in June, the employment situation in July improved markedly
from April. The services sector was the main job creator with
3.4 million jobs added between April and July, followed by
the agricultural and industrial sectors, with 2.1 million and 2
million, respectively. Consequently, the unemployment rate
fell from 17.7% in April to 10.0% in July.
The government is preparing an additional fiscal support
 package to be implemented in September which is expected
to include cash subsidies to poor households; support for
displaced workers and critically affected sectors such as
agriculture, tourism, and transportation; and relief to the
health care system, among other measures. Such measures
will have high multiplier effects and keep the economy on
track to recovery next year.

The report revised the Philippines’ inflation forecasts to 2.4%

in 2020 and 2.6% in 2021, compared with the April
projections of 2.2% and 2.4%, respectively, as global oil
prices stabilize. The forecasts are within the Philippine
central bank’s target range of 2.0%–4.0%, with monetary
policy likely to continue to help the economy’s rebound from
the pandemic.

ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive,

resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while
sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.
Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the
region.
