ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
•
Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rose to 3.8 percent, higher than the 2.9 percent in the same period last year. In
addition, the 22.5 percent expansion in net factor income from abroad brought about by the stable flow of remittances from
OFW’s and reduced property expense led to a 4.9 percent increase in gross national product (GDP), as compared to 3.4 percent
for the same period last year.
•
Personal consumption expenditure slightly dipped to 3.4 percent growth, compared with the 3.5 percent growth in the first quarter
of 2001 despite stable inflation and interest rates. However, consumer demand remained as the economy’s growth driver amidst
weak investments and export performance. Investments continue to falter in the face of weak business confidence while exports
remain weak pending the recovery of demand in key markets. On the other hand, government consumption is still hampered by
the tight fiscal stance of the government to rein in the budget deficit.
•
The services sector posted 4.8 percent growth on the strong performance of the communications, trade and transportation
subsectors and the recovery of the ownership of dwellings and real estate subsectors. Agriculture recorded a 4.4 percent growth
due to increased hectarage in areas planted and better yield in the corps subsector. Meanwhile, the Malampaya gas field started
production. This helped augment the industry sector’s growth of 1.9 percent, as compared to 0.6 percent for the same period
last year. However, overall sectoral growth remains on the recover of demand in export markets and the full return of business
confidence.
