Ep.12: The Philippine Economy for 2022, Do We Keep Calm and Carry On?

The Philippine Economy is projected to finish strong by the end of 2022 as it emerges from the COVID-19 epidemic with lower virus cases and lesser travel and mobility restrictions.  With an additional boost from the National Elections, talks of growth returning to pre-pandemic levels seem to be achievable. However, rising inflation, tightening interest rates, and emerging COVID-variants portend to dark clouds in the horizon.  Where is the economy headed for the rest of the year? Do current growth forecasts need to be revised? How does the economy behave in a National Election year? Learn about the prospects for the Philippine Economy, the initiatives by the Government to boost growth and the right frame of mind to have for the rest of the year from our special guest, Dr. Alvin Ang from the Ateneo Center for Economic Research and Development.    Subscribe and Follow us :  Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/thespeakeasyproject.podcast  Credits:  Voice Over: Nina Torralba Episode Logo: Berlyn Tinonas
