MANILA - The Philippine economy has moved
to a long-term growth path and can achieve 7 percent GDP growth this year, the
economic planning secretary said on Thursday.
Arsenio Balisacan also said the economy has
avoided the dreaded boom-and-bust cycle it faced in previous decades and has
become more competitive with its East and Southeast Asian neighbors.
"Overall, the Philippine economy’s
performance in 2014 and the preceding years starting in 2010 shows how our
country can no longer be called the 'sick man' of Asia. Our economic growth is
becoming more competitive with our East and Southeast Asian neighbors. We have
avoided the dreaded boom-and-bust cycle that has hounded our economy for
decades," he said.
Manila has a 7-8 percent growth goal in
2015 and 2016.
At the same time, the Philippine central
bank said it will refresh its forecasts after the economy's strong rebound in
the fourth quarter of 2014, and will take into account oil price expectations
in the assessment.
"We will refresh our forecasts to
include this new development, oil price expectations, shifts in interest
differentials and global investor sentiment," Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
Governor Amando Tetangco said in brief comments sent to reporters via SMS text
message.
After assessing "if there's any change
in the balance of risks to inflation," he said the central bank will then
formulate adjustments to policy stance as needed."
His remarks came after data showed the
Philippine economy grew at a faster-than-expected pace of 6.9 percent in the
fourth quarter from a year earlier.
