What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

The Philippine economy is experiencing stagflationary pressures, marked by rising costs and weakening growth. In October 2026, inflation reached 9.5 percent among the poorest Filipinos, exceeding the national rate of 7.8 percent, while unemployment climbed to 5.4 percent. Gross domestic product grew by 2.3 percent in the second quarter of 2026, a slowdown from previous quarters. To counter this, the Marcos administration is accelerating public spending to revive the economy, despite initial delays caused by infrastructure project scrutiny.
