Despite a slight downward adjustment in the economic growth forecast for 2024 to 6% from 6.2%, the Philippines is still seen as a growth leader in the region, driven by domestic demand, with inflation expected to average 3.8% in 2024, supporting the case for a rate cut in the second half, while main risks include extreme weather events and geopolitical tensions disrupting shipping and causing supply shocks.
